The Core Curriculum at Emory & Henry University is built around a selection of courses that emphasize the value of a liberal arts approach to learning while encouraging students to reflect on important relationships between themselves, what they learn, and the world in which they live. This program, which spans the students' years at the University, provides a wide breadth of experiences in the disciplines that promote the development of the perspectives, approaches to learning, connections, skills, and qualities that result from the study and integration of the liberal arts. Through the Core Curriculum, Emory & Henry students will:
- Explore liberal arts skills in a wide range of disciplines;
- Develop a foundation for critical and humane inquiry, apply skills in academics and learn how to apply those skills in professional settings, and take responsibility for their own learning;
- Engage with questions of difference, diversity, and their responsibilities to and within local and national communities;
- Contemplate their responsibility to themselves and others as part of the global community;
- Seek to develop care for themselves and for others around them by focusing on cultural and global awareness; and
- Develop skills that will assist them in university courses and in professional preparation.
