These requirements include liberal arts courses in English, the humanities, and the social sciences. The curriculum is intended to provide students with a general understanding of content while encouraging intellectual curiosity. The fields of study that develop such habits of mind are traditionally believed to be literature, history, philosophy, ethics, fine arts, and the social sciences. This program emphasizes critical thinking, reading and writing skills and analysis/synthesis skills by focusing on the intellectual and cultural heritage of Western civilization.
