Our Academic Curriculum
Our commitment to a liberal arts education is expressed in the form of General, Major, and Elective requirements divided nearly equally accross your academic experience.
Our Academic Curriculum
General Education: The General Education Program is designed to provide intellectual breadth through experience with a variety of disciplines. This program requires a broad exposure to various fields and the development of essential abilities: listening, reading, and observing; reasoning critically and quantitatively; and expressing ideas convincingly in oral discourse as well as the written word.
Major: The Academic Major promotes the discipline of thought and depth of understanding as it is articulated within a specific field. Within the Major, students discover the evolving questions within the field and gain hands-on experiences that lead to greater understanding.
Electives: Electives provide additional opportunities for students to further explore interests and individually design their academic experience. Electives may be a mix of structured options, such as a concentration or a semester of off-campus study, or they may be more flexible reflections of personal interest.
