Course Clusters

The OSUN Course Clusters are suites of courses that invite learners into classes with students matriculated in OSUN university partners. The interdisciplinary courses introduce various topics, themes, ideas and methodological approaches, so that learners can make an informed decision about their desired field of study when they move into full degree programs. The Clusters provide a minimum of 21 credits and up to 30 credits on an official Bard College transcript.
