COR 440 A LIBERAL EDUCATION-WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR ANYWAY?
This course is designed to investigate the core historical concepts, and the changes those concepts have undergone, to a Liberal Arts education. We will also examine and reflect upon the nature and importance of a liberal education and how having one influences a person's life journey. In addition, we will use the liberal education skills of reading deeply, analytic writing, open dialogue, questioning, and critical thinking to discover meaning in works that require multi-leveled interpretation. Ultimately the course aims to provide a framework by which to understand, integrate, and internalize what it means to be a liberally educated person after four years at Elon and how such an education isn't limited to the confines of a four-year degree, but rather a way of approaching life. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in the third or fourth year of study.
