Department of Humanities and Philosophy Clusters
Any cluster in Humanities must include at least one upper division course. For our purposes upper division courses include: American Humanities, Spiritually in the Arts, Humanities of Islam, and Senior Seminar. Since Senior Seminar is designated with an R (497R), it is a repeatable class for credit. A student may wish to include more than one semester of 497R as part of a cluster.
Any Philosophy cluster needs at least one class at the 300 level or above.
University Academics Definition of Cluster: 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. Cluster courses may not be included for general education.
