Common Boundary ProgramCommon Boundary is a College of Arts and Sciences program that links two upper-division courses, often from different academic disciplines, on the basis of a topical theme that is common to both. The program is designed to create a learning community encouraging greater interdisciplinary connections across academic departments and programs, greater student engagement with the subject matter, and greater interaction among the students enrolled in the linked courses. Common Boundary should enhance student learning through the explicit recognition of the interconnections between courses and disciplines while developing greater appreciation for the importance of combining and incorporating insights from a variety of disciplinary sources. Students registering for a Common Boundary automatically enroll in both courses as a two-course block.
