Overall Description and Rationale for Thematic Transdisciplinary Cluster on
Intentional Living
The term ‘life skills’ refers to the skills usually associated with managing and living a better
quality of life. They help us accomplish our ambitions and live to our full potential" (Skills You
Need, 2011-2014). The goal of the Intentional Living cluster is to provide opportunities for
students to become more strategic about their major life choices and habits. Here, emphasis is
placed on one's relational life skills and the factors that influence it. Thus, courses in this cluster
focus on interpersonal relationships, communication, family life, work life, morality, human
nature, sexuality and finances.
