Cluster Limit Policy

Students are not permitted to take more than one cluster in a trimester. The trimester clusters are designed to ensure that the courses within each cluster are interrelated and the clusters themselves are also interrelated in a way that provides students a better understanding of how the various elements in an organization work together. This format enables students to focus entirely on the content of their clusters during the term, maximizing the likelihood of a quality effort and resulting in a quality learning experience. Limiting a student’s course load is intended to protect the academic integrity of the program and its degree offerings. Limiting a student’s course load is also intended to enable the student to fulfill the co-curricular requirement of the program.
