从2024年秋季学期开始, 学院实行了新的校规, more flexible 通识教育 program that expands student choice and options.
The 通识教育 Program provides a foundation for deeper study in a wide range of academic disciplines. 通过通识教育计划, students develop the skills and habits of mind necessary for full participation in an increasingly complex world.
项目概述
The structure of 通识教育 comprises both foundational courses and upper-division courses that afford students the opportunity to further develop in their majors skills acquired in foundational courses and also to make connections across disciplinary boundaries.
项目的目标
- Students will develop the capacity to learn in their undergraduate courses and for the rest of their lives; we believe that goal requires introducing them to many different kinds of knowledge and offering many occasions for relating the knowledge they acquire.
- One key goal is to engage students fully in their own educations; we therefore offer as much choice and flexibility as possible in course selection and, 最重要的是, a first-year seminar meant to excite student interest in college-level learning and to introduce the habits of inquiry essential to the academic enterprise.
- The program also includes an integrated course that emphasizes comparative perspectives on particular topics or ideas.
