Program Objective
Sage Center Designated courses empower students to become agents of change by instituting curricular-driven engagement with the Six Cs and instructional support of DEI content and practice.
What are Sage Center designated courses?
The intent of these student-paced courses is to provide space to deeply engage with non-AP and non-accelerated coursework that focuses on development and reflection of the core competencies: critical thinking, collaboration, communication, cross-cultural competency, creativity and character. Additionally, students explore what it means to act with integrity and meet the challenges of tomorrow as responsible, able and open-minded agents of change.
Sage Center Designated courses also align with either a Service Learning, SHIP or Spring at Sage experience in order to bring our signature programming together in a cohesive fashion through experiential learning opportunities. This alignment provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills developed from the courses to real world experiences.
