University Core Courses |
|
|
|
At GIFT University, we believe that university education must enhance the students' intellectual strength and improve their technical and professional skills. Our University interdisciplinary Core Curriculum is the foundation of such an education. You will be exposed to some of the most basic issues that confront us as responsible members of the human community. |
|
|
|
When you graduate from the University, there will be an expectation that you are broadly educated in many subjects, not just your major. More and more employers say they want University graduates who have highly developed communication skills, can use mathematics effectively, and have a wide range of knowledge in many areas. One of the purposes of the University Core Curriculum is to provide this broad education. |
|
|
|
Aim |
|
|
|
Throughout the sequence of the University Core, you will be encouraged to think critically, to understand, to challenge, even to change the world in which you live. Through intensive reading, careful analysis, active discussion, and frequent writing assignments, you will begin to examine your own values, while becoming aware of the differing values of other individuals, groups, and cultures. |
|
|
|
 |
|
The core is designed to provide students with a common base of knowledge. |
|
|
|
To provide essential communication skills. |
|
|
|
To promote an understanding of individual, social and international perspective that will give students a way of looking at the world as well as at their own country. |
|
|
|
To enable students understand the interrelationships among different disciplines. |
|
|
|
|
Methodology |
|
|
|
There are a number of classes that all students take during their course of studies. These core courses are designed to link the curriculum/co-curriculum to the values and mission of the University. Class assignments involve students in service projects in the region that link the academic material with social action. In the core curriculum, students develop their skills in written and oral communication, computer skills, quantitative analysis, and critical thinking. |
