LB 200 - Introduction to Liberal Studies

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Liberal Studies

Description:

This course introduces students to perpspectives on and methods for understanding disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences, exploring the ways in which thinking and writing in different disciplines complement each other and provide a basis for understanding the nature of being human. Students discover the nature of learning as an open-ended process through readings, collaborative discussions, oral presentations, and written assignments. This course begins and ends with two questions: What does it mean to acquire a liberal arts education? and What is the relationship between a liberal arts education and an understanding of what it means to be human? To this end, the readings selected and the writing assignments included do not provide definitive answers to these questions but provide a forum for students to begin exploration.
