The Cross-Campus Connection (CCC) requirement links three courses together from three different academic programs around a specific focus or theme, showcasing the power of a liberal arts education. The CCC helps students make meaningful connections between courses and their own goals and experiences.
Note that all CCCs must be discussed with and have academic advisor approval. Students should meet with their advisor to discuss ideas and then submit the Microsoft Form linked below, ideally before the junior year.
