Connected Learning
Making Connections Across Academic Disciplines
Students will complete five required courses in the key learning traditions, called Ways of Thinking. These courses cover all academic disciplines, allowing students to customize their academic exploration. Themes embedded in many of these courses will showcase how seemingly unrelated fields can be connected.
Students will take one course in each Way of Thinking. Three of those courses must be on the same theme.
Integrated Portfolio
Students will fill their Integrated Portfolio with artifacts of their time at CSB/SJU through a program called Portfolium. Artifacts can be anything but will likely include papers, engagement prompts, projects, presentations, research summaries and performances. This portfolio will then serve as an academic resume for the student’s use after graduation – reflecting the skills and experiences they received through the Integrations Curriculum.
