In 2015, the Earlham faculty approved the following Learning Goals for the College<\/strong> developed by the Curricular Policy Committee. Students should be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlham College is a liberal arts college, and its general education requirements are devised to prepare its students for a life of critical knowledge and informed action. The new requirements introduce students to ways of knowing rather than to specific disciplinary or divisional requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In most cases, general education classes are small and provide interaction and collaboration between students and faculty. Collaborative research, in fact, is part of the College’s mission. Earlham’s system of general education allows as much student election of courses as is practical, and also invites faculty to introduce students to subjects of special interest and importance early in students’ academic careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlham’s exceptionally able and thoughtful faculty, at all levels, teach in the general education program. We understand that this teaching is central to the College’s mission, and we also understand that, in a broad sense, everything beyond a student’s major is part of general education at Earlham.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
