QUANTA is a small, nationally recognized learning community that combines several traditional courses under a common theme offering students the challenge of seeing and exploring the relationships and ideas between seemingly unrelated subjects.

You will participate in groups with other students to share ideas and explore a multitude of viewpoints. This sense of community will help you to develop a greater sense of involvement with other students and your professors, while the group skills that you gain will be invaluable to you later in the workplace.

QUANTA provides a convenient schedule due to its unique nature. You will register for three distinct classes (an English course, a cultural arts course and a sociology course), which meet from 9:30 -12:30 noon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Unlike a regular class schedule, you will not move from one class to another. Instead, the three classes are integrated into one, holistic learning experience with a common theme. For example, during the Fall semester the theme is "Identity and Power: the Quest for Community," where the courses jointly focus on the human journey to discover who we are and how we relate to others in society.
