College General Education Courses (Website)
 OBJECTIVES
This programme of Integrative Basic Studies grew out
of an original Philosophy of Life programme suggested
by the founders of the College. It is continually
revised and administered by a committee under
the Assembly of Fellows and is required of all
students.
The programme seeks to broaden the interests
of students and give them a wider perspective
than those their major and minor subjects provide.
It recognizes, in particular, their common need
for:
| (a) |
Knowledge of the nature and structure, purposes
and functions of modern university education,
particularly its emphasis on rational thinking. |
| (b) |
A critical awareness and appreciation of
the main cultural traditions of China and
the West. |
| (c) |
An understanding of the modern scientific
point of view and of the intrinsic significance
of the sciences (natural and social) and their
relation to society and culture. |
| (d) |
An ability to face contemporary and perennial
issues of life and their challenges to rational
inquiries, discussion, and personal commitment. |
