WALSH UNIVERSITY GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM Walsh, as a Catholic, Liberal Arts University, believes that liberally educated individuals observe and evaluate their world critically. They act as leaders in service to others pursuing meaning and truth, making informed judgments, and responding to global and technical change, all the while accepting responsibility for the ethical consequences of their actions. Given this approach, the General Education Curriculum exemplifies the theme: “Finding Meaning and Purpose in the 21st Century.” To this end, students will investigate topics from multiple directions, outlooks, and approaches following the traditions of Catholic education as practiced by the Brothers of Christian Instruction. The General Education Curriculum will be linked to the learning outcomes approved by the Faculty Assembly and University President. Courses within this core curriculum can be taken as electives or used to meet major/minor requirements. PROFICIENCIES Walsh University expects students to demonstrate basic baccalaureate skills in English, Mathematics, and Foreign Language. To this end, students will be tested for placement in each of these three areas. Those who are proficient will not be required to take courses in these areas unless required by their declared major. Proficiency levels are as follows: English - ENG 102: Reading and Writing Connections Foreign Language - the 102 level of a chosen language. Mathematics - Math 104: College Algebra II Students in pursuit of a liberal education and well-rounded knowledge are strongly encouraged to take courses beyond the basic graduation proficiency level. TIER I (THEOLOGY, HUMANITIES, LETTER, FINE ARTS AND SCIENCES) Tier I of the General Education Curriculum follows the traditional form of a liberal arts core curriculum exposing students in their first and second years of college to a broad spectrum of disciplines (ie. Theology, Humanities, Fine Arts, Social/Behavioral Sciences, and Empirical Science). The Tier I course work fosters the following student outcomes: the acquisition of knowledge in the Arts and Sciences, critical thinking and communication skills, and the integration of knowledge and skills in pursuit of truth and service. Students are required to take courses in theology, philosophy, history, english, art or music; in addition, they are required to take four credit hours of a laboratory science and two three-credit courses in the social and behavioral sciences.
