  2. foster the development of intellectual and practical skills and a sense of personal and social responsibility, and
  3. provide opportunities for integrative learning.

Students

Students wanting more information on the Core Curriculum requirements may click the Core Curriculum Catalog Description link to the left. This will take you to the Core Curriculum section of the current Shepherd University catalog. The Core Curriculum worksheets (also linked at the left) are provided by the Office of Academic Advisement. Use the one that corresponds to your catalog year to keep track of your progress through the Core Curriculum.
