Introduction
The Core Handbook was created as a guide to UNE's Core Curriculum for undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences. This handbook is a working document, and as such represents current thinking and implementation of the Core Curriculum. It is a tool for understanding what the undergraduate faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences at UNE wants its students to know and be able to do at the end of their undergraduate studies.
The Core Handbook contains information on the curricular goals of the core, themes, requirements, implementation guidelines and other relevant topics. This information can be used to guide the development of core courses and to inform students and faculty alike about the nature of liberal arts education at UNE. This handbook should be revised as needed to better serve the needs of students and enhance their education in the liberal arts.
