The Integrative Experience at UMass Amherst is a required upper-division course that asks students to reflect on and integrate their learning, from their major to their General Education courses to their extracurricular experiences; to further practice key Gen Ed objectives, such as oral communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary perspective-taking; and to begin to apply what they've learned at UMass to new situations, challenging questions, and real world problems. This course is a writing-intensive version of the IE, designed specifically for BA-English majors.
