Life and Physical Sciences (one course required)

The Flexible Core is made up of six courses, which must be taken in five different categories (numbered 4-8):  4) World Cultures and Global Issues; 5) U.S. Experience in its Diversity; 6) Creative Expression; 7) The Individual and Society; and 8) Scientific World.

In fulfilling the six-course requirement, students may not take more than one course from any one department, discipline, or interdisciplinary field. 

...

…Therefore, the sixth course may not be taken from Creative Expression, which consists of courses from a single department. Until Spring 2016 this was also true of the Scientific World category, since the only courses it contained were offered by the Department of Natural Sciences. But in Spring 2016, PSY 1001 was added to the Scientific World category; see below.

 

All Flexible Core courses must meet the following three learning outcomes. A student will:

• Gather, interpret, and assess information from a variety of sources and points of view.
• Evaluate evidence and arguments critically or analytically.
• Produce well-reasoned written or oral arguments using evidence to support conclusions.

The learning goals or outcomes of each area within the Flexible Core are included below.
