Carolina Core Cohort

Take Connected Classes. Build Skills. Find Your Community.
Join a new community of 20 students enrolled together in three connected Carolina Core courses for fall 2026. This cohort is designed to help you make meaningful connections with classmates, faculty and ideas. You’ll satisfy six of the eleven requirements for the Carolina Core and sharpen your skills while learning with the same group of peers across all three classes.

Included Classes

  • HIST 201 (001): American Founding Documents
    Satisfies Carolina Core requirements FND and GHS
    James Risk | MW 8:05–9:20 a.m.
  • SPCH 213 (005): Contemporary Moral Issues
    Satisfies Carolina Core requirements CMS and VSR
    Rachel Mann | MWF 10:50–11:40 a.m.
  • ENGL 102 (010): Rhetoric & Composition
    Satisfies Carolina Core requirements CMW and INF
    Erica Fischer | MWF 12:00–12:50 p.m.

Why should I join?

Studying these connected subjects with the same cohort allows you to build community while strengthening connections between ideas and assignments across classes. In discussion-based courses with a small, collaborative group, you will:

  • Explore big questions about democracy, ethics and public discourse.
  • Build strong evidence-based arguments.
  • Connect ideas across subjects and apply them in multiple classes.
  • Strengthen your writing, speaking and analytical skills.
  • Develop relationships with faculty and fellow students in a smaller learning community.

Who can join?

This cohort is open to students who have already earned credit for ENGL 101 and still need to complete the Carolina Core requirements listed above.

Registration is first-come, first-served, and limited to 20 students.
