As our academic mission statement suggests, a liberally educated person needs more than skills and competencies. He or she also needs a broad range of perspectives through which to look at life and learning. To this end, the College has developed the Shared Curriculum which requires students to address a wide range of disciplines, again using collaborative and scientific learning, historical perspectives, and multicultural points of view. The two Core courses coded COR 300 and COR 301 are attributable to Shared Curriculum requirements. Generally speaking, however, all major degree programs move from broad introductory offerings, through focused studies aimed at consolidating the disciplinary knowledge base, to a culminating capstone experience.
Some major disciplines offer minors in their fields as well.
