View the Core Curriculum Learning Goals
The Core Curriculum is completed by all students matriculating in the School of Arts and Sciences and the New Brunswick Business School, including those planning to complete majors offered by the Edward J Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, the Mason Gross School of the Arts bachelors' programs, the School of Communication and Information, the School of Management and Labor Relations, and the School of Social Work. School of Environmental and Biological Sciences students complete the core along with several additional SEBS-specific requirements.
The Core Curriculum focuses on the learning goals that form the core of liberal and sciences education at a leading 21st-century public research university. These goals align with the skills that employers agree are critical for career success in a world of work marked by rapid change.
Students exercise meaningful choice among courses—drawn from multiple disciplines—specifically certified as meeting these goals.
