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.
