A Better Way of Learning
Cluster Learning powers our unique and integrated academic environment. It’s all about focusing on learning as a process!
Our courses focus less on final products and more on helping you learn how to learn, how to take risks in your learning, and how to find, understand, and use academic knowledge to help you reach your life and career goals.
Cluster Learning breaks down boundaries between disciplines, between the classroom and “the real world,” and between teacher and student so that we are all learners, who—together—can change the world.
At Plymouth State, you’ll tackle real-world issues and problems that you care about through personal and professional opportunities that prepare you for lifelong success.
