Experimental and Integrative Studies (EXIS) provides opportunity for faculty and staff to develop courses not presently available in the university curriculum. This is accomplished through selected topics offerings, which are now letter-graded with a few exceptions. Commonly offered under this title are courses such as Career Exploration, Film Classics, and Diabetes Management. While the coursework is often rigorous and demanding, the nontraditional approach toward teaching lends itself well to exploring new modes of learning.

To ensure the experimental work does not preempt students' primary academic work, students may take only one experimental class a semester (exception: Service-Learning Contract). Each semster, EXIS publishes its own catalog describing the selected topics for that semester.

For a full list of EXIS courses for the Fall 2009, please see our EXIS Mini Catalog.
