What is general education at CSB and SJU? It is the way we ensure that all of our students receive an education that develops them as deep thinkers; connects them to foundational thinkers of the past and present; connects them to other cultures, other societies, and other communities; connects them to each other; gives them the skills to flourish; and provides them with learning that is relevant and meaningful. Our Integrations Curriculum is built around four key elements: Connected Learning, Engaged Learning, Purposeful Learning, and Learning Core Skills.

INTEGRATIONS CURRICULUM
Teaching Resources for Faculty

The Integrations Curriculum is guided by three design principles that put student interests and education first.

1. Integration – the namesake goal – is achieved by asking students to make meaningful associations between courses through intentional reflection, themed courses and more, and providing framework that amplifies those connections.
2. High-Impact Practices – seven high-impact practices are embedded across the curriculum to bolster engagement, performance, outcomes and satisfaction among all students. Examples include writing-intensive courses, common intellectual experiences and our Integrated ePortfolio.
3. Liberal Arts and Sciences Education – by recognizing the value of a liberal arts and sciences education, the Integrations Curriculum asks students to acquire a broad base of knowledge that develops a range of skills while also enriching personal and professional experiences.
