The first required seminar is either Introduction to Critical Thinking or The Ideal of the Educated Person. Through either of these courses students will develop a methodology that will then be applied to four subsequent seminars in Science, Social Science, Creative Arts and the Humanities. Three Electives Students may choose from a minimum of three required electives from a variety of areas. The final course requirement for those choosing the thesis option involves thesis research or creative work in preparation for the final project.
