大学核心课程概述

The Core encourages interdisciplinary interaction; establishes competency-based outcomes throughout the institution; provides flexibility in achieving those outcomes; and allows for a standardized campus-wide assessment of the general education requirements. The 网赌上分平台’s 核心课程 strives to develop nine basic competencies among its undergraduate students so they may better understand and relate to diverse people, 在自己选择的事业上取得成功, 并在完成学业后追求终身学习.

The design of the core is inspired greatly by the American Association of Colleges and Universities’ "LEAP Model"—Liberal Education for America’s Promise. The LEAP initiative seeks to make excellence inclusive by providing essential learning outcomes, 高影响力的教育实践, 以及真实的评估. 这种LEAP模式被用于创建符合独特使命的大学核心, 目的, 以及网赌上分平台的身份.

大学核心课程的目标是:

  • 有效地进行书面和口头沟通;
  • 运用定量技术从数据中获得有用的信息;
  • 批判性地思考并解决现实世界的问题，
  • 欣赏自然世界的科学探索，
  • 意识到他们在更大的社会中的角色和责任，
  • 拥抱文化差异的多样性，
  • 作为自己国家和世界的公民有效地参与，并且
  • 欣赏艺术作品的审美价值.

九种能力类别中的每一种都有两层期望. Tier 1 provides breadth through a fundamental set of outcomes that every student will complete, where as Tier 2 provides depth through higher-level learning outcomes related to more focused content. Tier 2 courses can be selected by the student if not prescribed by the student’s major program. 在咨询了教务顾问之后, 根据学位要求, 每个学生将从九个类别中选择核心课程.
