Common Academic Program

The Common Academic Program (CAP) is a learning experience that is shared in common by all UD undergraduates and is informed by the seven institutional learning goals: scholarship, faith traditions, diversity, community, practical wisdom, critical evaluation of our times and vocation. Students will work with their advisor to create a plan that provides unique learning experiences all four years. With its integrated approach, CAP encourages building connections between learning inside and outside the classroom. Different from general education at most other universities, CAP courses support students' individual interests and goals, while developing foundational habits of inquiry and reflection and skills employers are looking for – from leadership to conflict resolution.
