The Curriculum II general education program provides a basis for lifelong learning to complement the in-depth study of the major. Curriculum II is open to all first-year students subject only to a limitation of 60 places per entering class. Partners in Scholarship The Partners in Scholarship program is a research vehicle for Gustavus students. Projects are available in all disciplines, and students are matched with faculty members according to mutual academic interests. Writing Across the Curriculum Put simply, clear writing reflects clear thinking.
Most Gustavus courses require writing.
However, Gustavus is committed to teaching writing skills throughout the curriculum. Thus, under the Writing Across the Curriculum program, all Gustavus students are required to take three courses in which writing is specifically taught. Professors agree to spend class time working specifically on writing and to evaluate the writing that students submit for both form and content. International Education Part of the mission of Gustavus is to encourage an international perspective among students. In keeping with this mission, Gustavus students are encouraged to include an international experience in their coursework.
