About the Â鶹Æƽâ°æx Program
The Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Experience (Â鶹Æƽâ°æx) is a full-year Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Core Curriculum course specially designed for first-year and transfer students transitioning into their first year of college at Â鶹Æƽâ°æ. Students will complete Â鶹Æƽâ°æx1 in their first semester (1.5 credits)* and then complete Â鶹Æƽâ°æx2 in their second semester (1.5 credits)**.Â
To support student learning and development, Â鶹Æƽâ°æx classes are co-facilitated by an Instructor and a Peer Facilitator. Â鶹Æƽâ°æx uses a co-facilitation model as one of the ways to flatten the hierarchy structure in the classroom environment. The Â鶹Æƽâ°æx Program is committed to incorporating anti-racist principles into curriculum design and pedagogy.
*In academic years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, Â鶹Æƽâ°æx1 will be offered as a 1-credit, 10-class course as part of a pilot evaluation. During these academic years, students will enroll in a section of CORE-196 rather than CORE-100/101.
**In Spring 2025, the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Experience II requirement will be fulfilled by the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Encounters: Baldwin course, which will continue to be offered as CORE-200.
