学术集群

什么是学术集群?

An 学术 Cluster is a group of programs (some people call these majors) that have something in common. It may be that they can lead to similar careers or that they appeal to similar personalities. They are grouped together based on lots of information such as how students may transfer from one program to another.

Why are 学术集群 Important?

If you are unsure as to which exact program you want to begin, you can choose the General Studies program and select the 学术 Cluster that is most aligned with your educational or career goals. 学生s in General Studies have varied interests. If you can indicate what general 学术 Cluster you are interested in, you will be paired with an advisor who is familiar with that area and they can assist you in taking courses that allow you to transfer into a more specific program after your first semester. 另外, the 学术 Cluster will allow you to be paired with a First Year Experience course that is most relevant to your area of interest.

Does selecting an 学术 Cluster force you to select a program in that 学术 Cluster?
