Core Curriculum
Living Responsibly in an Interdependent World
One of the central goals of the University’s Mission Statement is to "teach students to live responsibly in a diverse and interdependent world." Marywood’s undergraduate Core Curriculum plays an essential role in providing a foundation in the Catholic intellectual tradition. Students will be empowered to make connections among ideas and experiences, across the curriculum and co-curriculum, to synthesize and transfer learning to new situations and beyond campus.
Our integrative Core Curriculum engages students through a variety of courses in the traditional liberal arts as well as the professional disciplines. Core courses are intentionally designed to help students develop a set of skills, such as critical and creative thinking, moral and ethical reasoning, effective communication, and intercultural awareness. Students will learn to adapt disciplinary knowledge and approaches to real-world, complex problems.
The Core Curriculum helps students develop intentional learning strategies through the use of metacognition–thinking about and reflecting on their own learning, skills, and processes--to identify areas of strength and struggle. These common teaching practices are interwoven throughout all Core courses and serve to increase students' capacity for self-awareness, agency, and life-learning.
The Core requirements are designed to offer maximum flexibility, variety, and choice to all students. By integrating traditional liberal arts courses, major courses, and many paths to satisfying requirements, the Core strives to deliver a robust, common intellectual experience while at the same time being responsive to the varied interests and needs of students.
