Transfer Tuesday!
Today on the blog we wish to highlight some of the perks of being a transfer student on our campus. Being a Liberal Arts College we wish to instill the four ‘pillars’ of a liberal arts education: critical thinking, oral expression, written rhetoric, and accessing information efficiently and effectively. To aid our transfer students in doing so they are required to take what we call “Core Seminars” (Core301, if the student comes in with 24 or more credits). This is in hopes to prepare them for what professors on our campus expect from students and to create a sense of community!
These courses are run by professor Andrew Cognard-Black, and have a wide selection to encompass a multitude of interests for students. This semester the Core301 options are: ‘Campus Ecology’, ‘Is it just progress?’, ‘The Future of Nature’, ‘Genius, Creativity, and Madness’, ‘Capitalism’s Crisis’, and ‘Whistleblowers & Organizations’. This variety is taught by professors from a wide variety of fields, and they chose their topics so they are just as interested as the students!
We hope you found this post insightful, lookout for our Transfer Student Highlight later today on the blog.
