Core Curriculum
Our Core Curriculum faculty will help you build three foundations needed for lifelong adaptability, professional success, and personal fulfillment:
- Breadth of knowledge and experience in exploring new areas
- Deep understanding of an area that you feel passionately about outside of your career
- The ability to make connections and recognize the unity of knowledge
The Roger Williams University Core is a four-year experience that's required for all students. You'll begin with a set of five unique interdisciplinary courses in Human Behavior, Literature & Philosophy, Science & Technology, History and the Nature of Revolution, and The Artistic Impulse. You'll then explore your passion with in-depth study on campus or in a foreign country. In your final year, you'll select a topical senior seminar, such as Environment Ethics or Prejudice and Institutional Violence, which will challenge you to pull together and synthesize all of your learning experiences.
