Purpose
The General Education program works with undergraduate schools and departments to ensure that the University’s mission and Undergraduate Learning Outcomes are addressed in the undergraduate curricula of the University: students learn academic skills common to all disciplines, develop an attachment and a sense of delight in relationship to the content, achieve an introductory-level understanding of a variety of disciplines, and develop an ability to apply knowledge gained from these disciplines to a wide range of problems. In the process, students challenge and nurture their intellect, develop and form their character, and engage their Christian faith. Moreover, service, leadership, and reconciliation are addressed at increasingly mature levels as students progress through the program.
