Liberal Arts and Sciences

As part of its Core Curriculum, all students at Baldwin Wallace University take Liberal Arts and Sciences 200, a common course that addresses enduring questions and themes in connection with developing a global perspective and intercultural understanding of both historical and contemporary events. Specifically, through common readings, assignments, and activities, the course is designed to engage students and faculty in conversations around three primary enduring questions that are central to liberal arts and sciences disciplines: what does it mean to be a human being?; how do human beings relate to each other?; and how do human beings relate to the natural world? LAS 200 is designed to provide both a common intellectual foundation for students and an opportunity to learn and practice essential liberal arts and sciences skills, including critical thinking and effective communication. Students can expect to integrate both the skills and content learned in LAS 200 in other courses they take at the University as well as throughout their lives and careers.
