Learning Clusters Examine Contemporary and Enduring Issues
The annual Learning Cluster empowers SUA faculty and small groups of 12 or fewer students to collaboratively design a month-long course centered on a specific problem or question, fostering shared exploration of solutions.
Regardless of their declared concentration, students can enroll in any Learning Cluster course. This results in groups of students with diverse academic interests—e.g., Latin American history, macroeconomics, and environmental justice—working together to explore the same issue through multiple lenses while remaining rooted in SUA’s mission of cultivating global citizens committed to leading contributive lives.
On January 31, students from 27 Learning Cluster courses showcased their research and experiences at the annual Learning Cluster Fair, generously sponsored by Academic Affairs. Explore highlights from their work and the fair below.
