Goal 1: To develop writers and speakers who use the English language effectively and who read, write, and listen critically.

Critical Thinking

Natural Sciences
Goal 3: To improve students' understanding of physical and biological principles and of the methods of scientific inquiry.

Mathematical / Logical Reasoning
Goal 4: To increase students' knowledge about mathematical processes and other logical reasoning.

History and the Social / Behavioral Sciences
Goal 5: To increase students' knowledge of how historians and social behavioral scientists discover, describe, and explain the behaviors and interactions among individuals, groups, institutions, events, and ideas.

The Humanities
Goal 6: To expand students' knowledge of the human condition and human cultures, especially in relation to behavior, ideas, and values expressed in works of art, imagination, and thought.

Human Diversity
Goal 7: To increase students' understanding of individual and group differences (i.e. race, gender, ethnicity, class) and knowledge of various history, traditions, values and cultures.

Global Perspective
Goal 8: To develop students' understanding of the growing interdependence of nations and peoples and develop their ability to apply a comparative perspective to cross-cultural social, economic and political experiences.

Ethical and Civic Responsibility
Goal 9: To develop students' capacity to identify, discuss, and reflect upon the ethical dimensions of political, social and personal life and an understanding of the ways in which they can exercise responsible and productive citizenship.
