The Core Curriculum is designed to encourage students to explore multiple disciplines and perspectives as they examine the world and question assumptions. As a faculty member, you play a pivotal role in this academic journey, serving as facilitators and guides who create opportunities for students’ intellectually rigorous growth and development.
Due to the breadth and depth of the Core Curriculum, faculty members are also encouraged to create courses of their own, pushing the disciplinary boundaries in line with budding research interests or recent historical developments. Please utilize the resources available to assist with teaching courses that are a part of the Core Curriculum.
