| Mission | |
| School mission | William Jewell recently announced an innovative new major that underscores its commitment to the liberal arts. Beginning with the graduating class of 2008, William Jewell will acknowledge completion of the college's 38-hour liberal arts core plus three applied learning experiences as a recognized major in Applied Critical Thought and Inquiry. This means that virtually all students will now graduate with double majors and some with triple majors. The new Applied Critical Thought and Inquiry emphasis builds on the college's unique core curriculum. For the past ten years, William Jewell has required its graduates to engage a rigorous interdisciplinary core in addition to their major area(s) of concentrated study. This intentional and progressive series of courses requires every student at the college to study concepts and disciplines from multiple fields and sources, confronting diverse and often contradictory perspectives that regularly challenge the students' political, moral, spiritual and civic assumptions. It was designed by the college's faculty to lead to specific outcomes including critical thinking, ethical decision-making, problem-solving and communication skills, as well as enhancing students' ability to engage in quantitative reasoning, analytic reading and independent research. |
