Core Curriculum

Office of the Registrar

The Core Program is intended to ensure that the degree has sufficient breadth. It is through the Core that students learn to improve their basic academic skills, to think critically and independently about a broad range of subjects, and to develop their awareness of social, cultural, scientific, and political issues.

The Core includes a Literacy Requirement, a Quantitative Reasoning & Analysis Requirement, Breadth of Knowledge Requirement:

Literacy

The Literacy Requirement is intended to ensure that graduates of Grenfell College are able to express themselves clearly and correctly, and that they have a broad appreciation of the English language as a means of communication. It includes thirty credit hours in Writing Courses (W) including a first year English sequence. Six credit hours in language courses may be substituted for any six credit hours in Writing Courses except for first year English.
