God: Students are required to take 9 credits of Biblical courses. 他们必须学习BIB 112和113(旧约和新约简介), 或者BIB 300:基督教思想的基础或PHI 310:基督教对生活的理解. 当学生开始这些课程或当他们结束这些课程时,不期望他们成为基督徒, however, 新濠天地app确实希望他们的学生学习圣经原则的基本框架. 圣经核心课程的目的是为学生在神的国度里忠心服事打下基础.

Humanity: 人文核心课程包括6个学分,旨在教导学生探索人类生活的目的. 人文学科的课程深入研究了过去的知识传统. The Humanity Core explores the essence of humanity, and the aspects of life that are deeply and truly human.

Cosmos: The Cosmos courses explore the qualities of the physical universe. The Cosmos Core requires 8-13 credits (depending on your major). 这些学分包括PED 103:身体健康和SCS 110:自然科学导论. 这些课程介绍了物理生物学和科学研究的质量. 为了达到这一类的学分要求,学生可以在他们选择的领域内选择另一门科学课程.

Society: 社会课程旨在更深入地了解人类社会的品质,并使学生成为社区的建设性成员. Society courses are categorized as Group A, B, 或C类课程,学生必须至少选修两门不同学科的课程. 有多种课程可供选择,以满足这一要求. A组的一些课程是心理学入门(PSY 201), American Government (POL 151), or Fundamentals of Economics (ECO 100). 社会核心要求允许根据学生的兴趣进行重大变化.

The Cultural Engagement core consists of POL 352: Great Issues in Politics; HUM 303: Perspectives: Modernity, Post-Modernity, & Virtual Culture; and a Major Capstone Experience (which is determined by the department for each program). 通过这些课程,学生们被教导成为他们社区和文化的负责任的成员.

The Geneva College Core Curriculum might appear to be overwhelming, however, 许多学生发现,核心课程有助于拓宽他们对世界的理解,并为他们与他人交往做好准备. Ryan Eisenhuth, a senior Communication major, says, “Indeed, 新濠天地app的核心课程对各行各业的人都是有益的,因为它不仅教会他们如何理解自己的工作, but their whole world, through the lens of God’s sovereignty.” The core curriculum is foundational to a Geneva College education, and year after year, 学生毕业时对世界和他们在其中的角色有了更全面的了解.
