Constellation: What Drives Us to Innovate and Create?

Harness your natural curiosity by exploring ideas through diverse perspectives and hands-on, interactive experiences. Build confidence in questioning the world, develop creative problem-solving skills, and engage with global cultures and viewpoints. Students will also critically examine the ethical implications of innovation, preparing to evaluate the impact of their ideas on society. All courses are taught in English.

Students enroll in one fall course and one spring course for their matched Constellation. Students are assigned to the fall semester to enroll in one integrated W120 course.
