Helix

Overview

A Helix is a cluster of 3-5 courses integrated through an interdisciplinary topic or theme. Open to all interested students, Helix clusters bring together courses from a wide range of disciplines and satisfy GERs as well as major requirements. While Helix students can take the courses in any sequence, they will be able to meet and work with one another through travel and research opportunities, civic engagement, and other integrative learning experiences built around the Helix theme. Students who complete a Helix cluster will receive notations on their transcripts and add breadth, depth, and coherence to their coursework outside their major.
