Integrative 300-level courses Experiment
This innovative project emerged from the 2012 GenEd APR and was reaffirmed as a worthwhile opportunity by the 2022 APR. Integrative learning was part of the JMU General Education program, The Human Community, that launched in 1997. At that time, integrated sequences of courses called packages were the chief approach. Today, integrative courses that allow students to connect their own learning are important components of many General Education programs, such as George Mason’s emerging Mason Apex courses.
