Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies Core Curriculum Applies to students who first enrolled in Fall 2013. 1 Core Curriculum “A liberal arts education is a celebration of learning that encompasses pretty much everything: the arts and the humanities, the social sciences and the hard sciences, business training and other professional studies. It grounds us in a sound understanding of our own culture and history, but also makes us aware and tolerant of the histories and cultures of others. Liberal learning seeks to emphasize the growth of intellectual self-reliance and independence while encouraging cooperative endeavors. It is the competence to think, analyze and understand independently.” – Former AUC President Thomas Bartlett About the Core Curriculum The primary aim of AUC’s Core Curriculum program is to ensure that students across various disciplines are well-grounded in the liberal arts and sciences. The Core Curriculum encompasses courses that are designed to provide a broad liberal arts base for students. It aims to develop basic academic and intellectual traits while enhancing the writing skills of students, as well as their ability to reason and construct a logical argument. The program strives to familiarize students with diverse areas of knowledge and intellectual tradition, helping them understand themselves, their culture, society and place in the world. It encourages them to address the patterns of rational thought and argumentation that underpin the world’s great intellectual traditions, and introduces them to the ways in which science seeks to comprehend the natural world. The Core Curriculum is an education in the fundamentals of learning, and it lies at the heart of AUC’s commitment to the liberal arts. “ The mind is not a vessel to be ” filled, but a fire to be kindled. – Plutarch 3 Core Curriculum Diagram The Core Curriculum outlines a series of requirements that are a vital part of an AUC education. All students must meet these requirements to earn an undergraduate degree from AUC. Although it is not possible to be exempt from these requirements, students may petition for approval to use external credit hours in meeting them (for example, through advance standing or transfer credits). All students transferring to AUC from another institution of higher learning should be aware of AUC’s residency requirements. In addition to the requirements of the Core Curriculum, AUC has an Arabic-language requirement. Depending on admission qualifications or Arabic placement examination results, many students will take three to six credit hours of Arabic classes (ALNG) to meet this requirement. “ Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, ” but impossible to enslave. – Lord Brougham For details on how courses may or may not be double counted for core, as well as major and minor requirements, check the AUC Catalog. More information is also available in this brochure. Further queries should be directed to the Office of the Core Curriculum. For course descriptions, visit http://catalog.aucegypt.edu. 4 5 Core Curriculum The Freshman Level (22 credit hours) The freshman program aims to offer students a coherent and integrated introduction to one of AUC’s distinct features — a liberal arts education. In addition, the program equips students with English communication skills and enables them to utilize these skills in content courses so that they are able to cope with assignments in their majors. It enhances the students’ critical thinking skills and ability to apply them in a variety of disciplines. The freshman program aims to help students think with clarity and insight about themselves, their goals and the decisions they face. It enables them to foster civic responsibility, personal and academic integrity, and an appreciation for diversity.
