Anderson College Undergraduate Core Studies Requirements
Regis University recognizes that in today’s diverse and complex world, education cannot be limited to one field of study. Instead, it is the goal of the University to give each student a full range of academic exposure. Building upon a 450 year educational tradition, our core education is grounded in a Jesuit and Catholic vision of human development. Through its emphasis on active learning and integrated reflective thinking, the core education should broaden a student’s capacity to make critical judgments in a wide range of areas. To this end, Anderson College requires that each student completes a liberal arts core curriculum.
Regis University’s mission is to develop leaders in the service of others. Therefore, the Regis Anderson College Core Curriculum is firmly rooted in the Regis University Core Philosophy Statement. The Core Curriculum is guided by the framework of the Characteristics of the Core Educational Experience: Development of the Whole Person, Academic Challenge, Liberal Arts Foundation, Integration, Ethical Inquiry and Reflection, Spirituality and Religion, Concern for Justice, Global Awareness and Leadership.
All Core courses will challenge students to reflect on tradition, continuity, and change while celebrating the essential goodness of the world, the compatibility of faith and reason, and the joy of learning.
Purpose of the Core Curriculum
Rooted in Catholic tradition and Ignatian spirituality, the core is directed towards the education of the whole person and is committed to academic excellence through the disciplined search for knowledge and the joy of discovery and understanding. It celebrates the essential goodness of the world, provides opportunities for students to understand the ethical dimension present within all of their studies and allows them to cultivate respect for faith and reason, human diversity, and a special concern for social justice. It promotes leadership in service to others and towards the common good. Grounded in the Liberal Arts, the core promotes literacy in the major academic disciplines. It also challenges students to integrate their knowledge both by demonstrating an understanding of the relevance of the disciplines, one to another and bringing together their learning with the practice of everyday life and the needs of their communities.
