Crossroads Courses
Crossroads courses are team-taught by two graduate instructors approaching a specific question, issue or problem from an interdisciplinary perspective. These courses are offered in either Fall or Spring semester. They are a one credit, S/U, and allow undergraduate students the opportunity to explore topics in a unique way.
Crossroads courses are developed out of the annual Empowering Interdisciplinary Teaching & Scholarship graduate workshop hosted by the ILA.
