Old University of Stormwind

The Old University of Stormwind is an educational institute in Stormwind City, focusing primarily on the liberal arts and sciences and the humanities, with minimal involvement in the study of alchemy and sorcery. Founded by royal decree in 211KY, this venerable institution of learning is responsible for producing a number of the Kingdom's most significant thinkers and strategists over the years, but has been suffering from increasing disrepute over the last two decades as allegations of rampant academic misconduct and outright fraud continue to surface.
==Curriculum==
All students at the University are required to undertake basic studies consisting of the trivium, which consists of the arts of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. If students can demonstrate suitable existing fluency in the trivium they may proceed past its study on enrolment, though many choose to undertake the study as a 'refresher' on these fundamental basic concepts of learning. Many junior students at the University are sent solely to undergo education in, and examination on, their grasp of the trivium and then sent elsewhere for other education; this being especially common with young noblemen. The trivium is usually taught for one or two years, or until able to satisfactorily undergo an oral examination and questioning.
Following the trivium, more advanced schools of study are opened to the eligible scholar. Nearly all proceed to study the quadrivium, consisting of mathematics, music, geometry, and astronomy. With the trivium and quadrivium together, it is believed the mind is made more capable, more honest, more nimble and flexible, and better able to serve higher purposes. Proceeding with, after, or instead of study of the quadrivium are the humanities, usually consisting of art and literature, 'high architecture' (as opposed to the 'low architecture' learned by the tradesmen of the Stonemason's Guild), history, language, and most especially (and frequently), 'true' philosophy. While the Royal University of Stormwind argues that this progression is outmoded and that study of the seven liberal arts is unnecessary, the staid academics of the University reject this counterargument from their more modern peers.
Also offered, usually but not always in place of the quadrivium, are specialist fields of study, of which the most prominent are engineering and science, law, and medicine. Studying these advanced fields usually requires a further two to four years, with further possibilities opening up for those who wish to pursue Mastery in any field or doctoral studies in philosophy, medicine, history, and theology.
