A Not-So-General Education
How does Core work?
First Year
The focus of the first year is to help you acclimate to college life and spark your curiosity. Core classes during this year are designed to ease the transition to college and build a strong foundation for academic success.
Second Year
In your second year, you’ll explore the history and social influences that shape your perspectives. You’ll investigate topics of personal interest, developing new mindsets and ways of thinking.
Third Year
Committed to cultural exploration, in your third year you’ll have the opportunity to experience cultures different from your own by participating in a study abroad?or in the local 盛京棋牌 community.
Fourth Year
In your fourth year, you’ll focus on your passions and what matters most to you. You’ll work on your capstone project, bringing together the knowledge and skills you’ve gained in your core courses and chosen major.
My technical classes were great, but it was in my core classes where I discovered a knack for weaving together seemingly disconnected information into comprehensive understanding.

Fourth Year
Core touched on a lot of topics that made me challenge my own beliefs and learn about how my actions impact those around me. In the end, it’s made me think in a more global and open-minded way that I can now apply into my field.
