Persistent Outcomes for College Graduates Who Completed an Innovation Course

There is little information about outcomes that persist beyond graduation for college students who take interdisciplinary innovation courses. This project describes qualitative results of a study of college graduates who were members of two such courses in different disciplines at two universities in the United States. Teamwork, innovation, and learning are themes the participants identified as skills from the courses that they use in their post-graduation work. Study results can be used to create/assess such courses and as a foundation for studying student outcomes for future interdisciplinary innovation courses.
