Our curriculum serves our students best by connecting the development of basic intellectual skills in the major and in the liberal education every graduate receives. Completing the curriculum prepares our graduates for a lifetime of learning and makes a Southeast degree timeless. Today, graduates must succeed in a world in which knowledge increases rapidly. All of our graduates will be prepared for professions of the future, whatever they may be. All of these skills are addressed to some extent in the student's major and in the University's highly regarded liberal education program.
All students learn generally effective ways of analyzing issues and solving problems.
A student's major develops these same skills further, in specific areas. Connectedness has other important dimensions at Southeast. Experiential learning, including internships, student research, and practica, connects our curriculum to actual practice. We practice the well-founded belief that students learn best by doing. We also have highly-developed, seamless connections with other educational institutions, locally, regionally, and nationally.
