Its goal is to enable students to understand the connection between academic disciplines and their own relationship to the college community and to society. The Wesley Seminars, which are sequential and designed to embody the purpose and spirit of the core curriculum, form the innovative centerpiece of the program.

These threads are critical thinking, communication across the disciplines, technological literacy, multicultural awareness, aesthetic appreciation, and ethical sensibility. Why the Caged Bird Sings .
