Cluster System?

[WayOutWestMom]

Mechanical engineering (Indeed all engineering majors) need to complete only 1 cluster (Instead of 2).

Students who complete one of the professionally accredited Engineering majors (i.e., Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering) need to complete only one Cluster outside the area of the major. Students may still need to complete additional humanities and/or social science courses and should consult their departmental advisor for details.

The cluster may be in the humanities or social sciences. Dance falls into the humanities category.

UR currently offer 4 Dance-related clusters

Improvisation and Creative Process (H1DAN006)
Dance and Performance (H1DAN010)
Movement and Culture (H1DAN007)
Mind-Body Somatics (H1DAN009)

Here are the specific courses for each:

You would still need to fulfill writing and other department specific non-engineering requirements.
