University of New England

The core curriculum provides an innovative common learning experience for all UNE undergraduates. It invites students to explore four college-wide themes from multiple disciplinary perspectives and to develop important intellectual skills.

Students focus on a theme each year - (1) Environmental Awareness, (2) Social and Global Awareness, (3) Critical Thinking: Human Responses to Problems and Challenges, and (4) Citizenship. Skills of communications, mathematics, and critical thinking are taught throughout the core.

Designed to provide a foundation in the liberal arts, the core reflects the values of the college and is designed to prepare students for living informed, thoughtful, and active lives in a complex and changing society.
