Catalog Pass/Fail Policy for Spring 2020At PLU, students can engage in interdisciplinary thinking through various avenues. The First-Year Experience Program (FYEP) is taught by faculty across the disciplines, and thus encourage students to engage in critical thinking and writing from those multiple perspectives. The General Education curriculum offers all students the opportunities to engage with multiple disciplines, and, over time, to consider how multiple perspectives and frameworks can inform

own solutions to contemporary problems and strategic opportunities. The program also prepares students to tell a unique story about their college experience to future employers. Each course emphasizes critical thinking and the skills that organizations most want from graduates. Think of the minor as a toolkit with essential business and problem-solving skills that will enhance your core proficiencies and apply those skills to the real world.
