Abstract	The Unified Core is an innovative approach to higher education that blends content through linked courses within a major to create a community of learners. This article offers the theoretical background for the approach, describes the implementation, and offers suggestions to educators who would like to design their own version of this innovative approach. Four separate three-credit foundation courses, Foundations of Recreation and Leisure Studies, Programming in Leisure Service, Community Programming in Recreation Leadership, and Contemporary Social Issues in Recreation and Leisure Studies, are taught as a blended unit to undergraduates entering the initial semester of the Recreation and Leisure Studies major. (Contains 2 footnotes.) (As Provided).
