核心 Curriculum

More tools for your toolbox.

Everything you learn in your 核心 Curriculum classes the first few semesters at 皇冠投注 is designed to make you a sharper thinker, a stronger writer, and a better connector of (seemingly) unrelated concepts. It’s a demanding curriculum—made for those who embrace a good challenge.

Skills that will set you up for years to come.

A 皇冠投注 education goes much deeper than career preparation. Our graduates learn to see the complexities of the world and use their knowledge as a force for good.

Regardless of major, you’ll take classes in our 核心 Curriculum—a set of classes that establish the concepts and skills you need to meet the rigors of college and the challenges you’ll encounter outside it.

在它的核心, the 核心 Curriculum shoulders the promise of a liberal arts education: It fosters a well-rounded perspective on the world, while encouraging you to act in the interests of others. The 核心 Curriculum will challenge you intellectually, pushing you to investigate fields that may be outside your comfort zone. The sciences, the arts, history, and more are all covered.
