Curriculum
In today’s world, nothing stands still. Technologies and business
practices change with the seasons, and new careers emerge daily.
In such a world, how can you prepare for a life of significance and responsible citizenship?
By learning to think analytically, to communicate well—and
to adapt.
At Christopher Newport, we’ve designed a curriculum that
will help you do just that. Our
Liberal
Learning Core reaches across disciplines and job descriptions
to develop your talents and prepare you for a dynamic future—whatever
career path you choose.
Core classes are challenging and interesting. This year’s
First-Year Seminar includes topics such as Discovering Tolkien’s
Middle-Earth, Ghosts in Art and Literature, Exploring U.S. Culture
through Film, and Guns and Politics.
To fulfill Liberal Learning Core requirements, you’ll take
46 to 48 semester hours of core courses during your college
career. In addition to the
First-Year Seminar, courses focus on writing, reasoning,
mathematical literacy, the natural world, societies, and more.
