• Students’ use of language, both written and oral, to communicate understandings and analyses comprise an essential element of all courses.

• All courses integrate interdisciplinary ideas, examples, and methodological approaches.

• All courses promote high academic expectations for all students and afford opportunities for advanced learning.
