Civic Responsibilities Definition

Students should have an understanding of the nature of race and ethnicity, gender, and global communities, and the impact of each on our lives in the contemporary world.  The fulfillment of these goals is achieved by completing major or liberal learning courses designated as meeting each requirement.  Each goal may also be met through an approved program or equivalent sustained experience.  Also, students should seek to sustain and advance the communities in which they live by engaging in an informed and academically based service experience.  The fulfillment of the goal is achieved by completing a course in the major or liberal learning designated as meeting the requirement, or through an approved program or equivalent sustained experience. No single course, program, or sustained experience may satisfy more than two of the four civic responsibility categories.

Key to the Domains

BSCP: Behavioral, Social, and Cultural Perspectives

LVPA: Literary, Visual, and Performing Arts

NS: Natural Science

QR: Quantitative Reasoning

SCHP: Social Change in Historical Perspectives

WVWK: World Views and Ways of Knowing

 

Special Note – How the Option A, second (or double) major works:

Students with a second major need only to complete two courses each in the three broad sectors of human inquiry: Arts and Humanities, Social Science and History, and Natural Science and Quantitative Reasoning.  

Here are the possible scenarios:

  • Where a given sector includes, from either or both majors, at least two courses in either domain, that sector is generally satisfied (see below for exception).  Domains are the sub-divisions of each sector, e.g., ‘world views and ways of knowing’ and ‘literary, visual and performing arts.’
  • When an additional course must be added to a sector, that course must have a different prefix from the existing one. 
  • When two courses need to be added, they need to be of two different prefixes. 
  • It is not necessary to include a course from each domain except in the case of Natural Science and Quantitative Reasoning.  All students, no matter how they satisfy the breadth requirement, must have at least one course in Natural Science with lab, and one approved course in Quantitative Reasoning.
