Who participates in a cluster course?

Typically 180 freshmen participate in each cluster sequence.

They are taught by 3 or 4 faculty who work in as a team.  The faculty team is supported by a cohort of Teaching Assistants, who teach the discussion sections and offer some of the spring seminars.

Because clusters are writing intensive courses, a librarian and a writing instructor work closely with the teaching team and the students.
