Common Intellectual Experiences
Common Intellectual Experiences as a High-Impact Learning Practice (from AAC&U):
"The older idea of a “core” curriculum has evolved into a variety of
modern forms, such as a set of required common courses or a vertically
organized general education program that includes advanced integrative
studies and/or required participation in a learning community. These
programs often combine broad themes—e.g., technology and society, global
interdependence—with a variety of curricular and cocurricular options
for students."
