The SPACE: Arts and Sciences Certificate will guide students in making connections between the arts and sciences, including the social sciences. Through coursework as well as activities and projects that bridge the classroom and co-curricular activities, students will explore topics across the arts and sciences and be offered the opportunity both to broaden their education beyond their chosen program and to deepen their knowledge and skills within their field of study.
The SPACE: Arts and Sciences Certificate is launching in 2021-22. Learn more about how Dawson certificates work here. Updated information about ongoing SPACE Learning Community activities, coursework, and capstone project options for certificate students will be found at the linked entries below.
