University Core Values |
|
|
|
At GIFT University, we believe that university education must prepare and lead the taught to an intellectual strength intermingled with technological and professional skills. Our University interdisciplinary Core Curriculum is the cornerstone of such on education. Our students are exposed to some of the most basic issues that confront us as responsible members of the human community. When you graduate from 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 and attempt 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. |
|
|
In order to provide students with a common base of knowledge, the core is designed:- |
|
|
|
 |
|
To provide essential skills in communication |
|
|
|
|
To promote on understanding of individual and societal perspectives |
|
|
|
|
To foster an international perspective that will give students a way of looking at the world as well as at their own country |
|
|
|
|
To inculcate an appreciation for the interrelationships among bodies of knowledge generated in individual disciplines |
|
