* approved, Strategic Planning Meeting, May 2008
 
The goals are not new, nor is the learning that follows from them. These include:
  • an ability to think and express oneself well;
  • an understanding of the human experience and the natural universe;
  • knowledge of oneself and others;
  • a disposition to make a positive difference.
However, our graduates will need not only to employ the best of traditional scholarship, but also to discover new knowledge and find new solutions. Much of what they must understand cuts across or does not fall within the bounds, or "silos," of the traditional disciplines. We might consider this a core curriculum plus.
