About the 51³Ô¹Ïx Program
The 51³Ô¹Ï Experience (51³Ô¹Ïx) is a full-year 51³Ô¹Ï Core Curriculum course specially designed for first-year and transfer students transitioning into their first year of college at 51³Ô¹Ï. Students will complete 51³Ô¹Ïx1 in their first semester (1.5 credits)* and then complete 51³Ô¹Ïx2 in their second semester (1.5 credits)**.Â
To support student learning and development, 51³Ô¹Ïx classes are co-facilitated by an Instructor and a Peer Facilitator. 51³Ô¹Ïx uses a co-facilitation model as one of the ways to flatten the hierarchy structure in the classroom environment. The 51³Ô¹Ïx Program is committed to incorporating anti-racist principles into curriculum design and pedagogy.
*In academic years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, 51³Ô¹Ïx1 will be offered as a 1-credit, 10-class course as part of a pilot evaluation. During these academic years, students will enroll in a section of CORE-196 rather than CORE-100/101.
**In Spring 2025, the 51³Ô¹Ï Experience II requirement will be fulfilled by the 51³Ô¹Ï Encounters: Baldwin course, which will continue to be offered as CORE-200.
