La
Roche College Core Curriculum
 The
Core Curriculum is the liberal arts experience at the heart
of a La Roche education. The Core challenges students to
develop the habits of mind and spirit necessary for lifelong
intellectual, spiritual, and cultural growth through a distinctive
curriculum that anticipates the advancing levels of critical
thinking and inquiry required by current and future graduates.
The La Roche College Core Curriculum
includes three sections of study:
- Fundamental (12 credits)
- These courses provide a foundation for lifelong learning.
Students may test out of these requirements. Those who
test out of a fundamental course can use the credits
for electives.
EN 111/A - College
Writing: Exposition I
EN 112 - College
Writing: Exposition II
One course beyond MT 106 - Analytic
Thinking and Problem Solving
CIS 105W - Practical
Computer Applications
- Select - These courses
use effective instructional practices to provide an
in-depth study of the fundamental principles of one
or two disciplines. A minimum of 12 credits is
required, including study within each of the following
domains:
History
Science
Literature
Social and Cultural Systems
Religion or Philosophy
Aesthetics
Students can fulfill six domains
with four courses because: 1) some courses may investigate
two domains and will thus carry more than one domain
designation; 2) students may fulfill a domain requirement
through courses taken in their major, e.g., a literature
major would necessarily have "in-depth study of the
principles" of literature.
- Integrative (9 credits)
- This category includes a sequence of three interdisciplinary
courses that emphasize progressive and integrated learning,
organized around the concepts of the Community, the
Individual, and the Global perspectives. Students should
take the first course in their freshman year. The two
final courses may be completed at any time in the College
career, but must be taken in sequence.
