General Education Learning Outcome
1: Intellectual Foundations and Breadth of Exposure: Put into practice different and varied forms of knowledge, inquiry, and expression that frame academic and applied learning
4: Multidisciplinary Learning Integrate knowledge, perspectives, and strategies across disciplines to answer questions and solve problems.
Courses provide students the opportunity to practice and demonstrate the specific Foundational Knowledge skill identified by the Seminar focus (either the Quantitative Literacy or Written Communication rubric) and provide the students to engage in the practice of integrating knowledge across multiple disciplines at the benchmark level using the Integrating Knowledge rubric.
