LIBERAL ARTS FOUNDATION

The Liberal Arts Foundation intends to guarantee that the liberal arts character of the institution, as described in the Mission, will be preserved.

Each degree program of the University begins with a Common Core, which includes components from the humanities and fine arts, the social and behavioral sciences, and mathematics and natural science. A course in religion is a key element, and all students must complete at least one course in Integrative Studies. Courses within the Liberal Arts Foundation core also ensure competence in computer usage, health and fitness, and in the general skills necessary for university success.

The Mission of the Liberal Arts Foundation is to insure that every Shorter University graduate should have established the habit of continuous learning within the context of knowledge and values that defines contemporary civilization.
