Clusters
What are Clusters?
-
"A cluster is a grouping of courses selected by a student in consultation with an adviser to develop a set of skills tailored to the unique needs of the student."
-
"The cluster must consist of courses from no more than two disciplines, and total 12 to 15 credits."
-
"Normally some upper division courses would be included to ensure that adequate depth of knowledge is achieved in the area chosen." (BYUI Academic Programs)
-
"Unlike a minor, a cluster is a focused study in academic disciplines that will complement students' selected majors by giving them skills they will need in the future."
-
"Clusters try to help [students] develop special skills [in one interest area that] they can use and [that will] also attract the attention of the employment world," (Fenton Broadhead, Dean of the College of Business and Communication)
