Schedule not like that?




You must have earned Transfer Credit (AP or
other college course credit)
A course was added to your schedule in a
Knowledge Area (to count toward Common
Experience Curriculum Requirements)
ES 220 Statics - if both MA131 and PH131
completed
Other possibilities …
Clarkson Common Experience Curriculum

and

Technology Serving Humanity
Knowledge Areas (KAs):
Cultures and Societies (CSO)
Contemporary and Global Issues (CGI)
Imaginative Arts (IA)
Science, Technology, and Society (STS)
Economics and Organizations (EC)
Individual and Group Behavior (IG)
Also Common Experience University
Courses (UNIV) – have two or more
knowledge areas designated
The knowledge area requirement is
met by completing six KAs in a
minimum of five courses beyond UNIV
190 (so at least one University
Course).
Technology Serving Humanity
The Communication Component
Courses designated as communication
intensive are assigned communication points
on a scale of one or two (C1 or C2) to indicate
the extent of communication experience in
that course. Beyond the Clarkson Seminar
UNIV 190 (a C2 course), students must obtain
six more “communication points,” at least two
of them within the major at the 300/400 level.
Communication points can be obtained by
taking designated courses, or, with approval,
through co-curricular experiences.

Study Abroad
The traditional study abroad exchange program allows you to
attend a university in one of 14 countries. Clarkson has
formal exchange programs with more than 20 universities in
these countries, which means you still have access to your
financial aid while you are abroad.
