Themed Interdisciplinary Course Clusters

  Themed Interdisciplinary Course Clusters allow students the option of selecting a group of six liberal arts courses that fall under a theme of particular interest to the student. Clusters currently available include: The Classical Mind, Technology in the Modern Era, Exploring Ethical Considerations, and Cultural and Global Awareness. Typically, all of the courses in the Themed Clusters apply directly toward the student's degree requirements, with many fulfilling specific core requirements. Pursuing a Themed Cluster is optional, but it offers another way that MSPS makes adult education relevant, useful, and interesting.
