The Institute for Core Studies was established to enhance service to our students during their crucial first two years of undergraduate study. It is composed of faculty and coordinators with a high degree of spirit, who are multifaceted, nimble and focused on student engagement.

The Mission of the Institute for Core Studies is to:

  • Increase full time faculty teaching in the Core
     
  • Increase student engagement (quality of education and increase student satisfaction) through active pedagogy and the classroom experience
     
  • Key stake holders in Core Curriculum: assessment and revision
     
  • Leaders in implementation of University Strategic Plan:
    Service & Mission
    Engagement

The Institute will have a clear and articulated identity that will embody the spirit and charism of the institution and Vincentian Community.

The Institute will also explore the creation of a required non-credit capstone course devoted to a student’s passage out of the undergraduate years. The course, tentatively titled “Passages” will have two types of sections, one for students transitioning into the world of work and one for students transitioning into graduate study. The course would be taken during the students’ final undergraduate year.
