The General Education Program

The CLA Faculty believes that students of Willamette University should include in their General Education Program:

  1. College Colloquium
  2. Two Quantitative Reasoning courses
  3. Three Writing-Centered courses
  4. Study in a language other than English

In addition we have identified six broadly defined inquiry modes that encompass crucial facets of a general education; these compose the Modes of Inquiry (MOI) requirement:

  1. Understanding the Natural World
  2. Creating in the Arts
  3. Analyzing Arguments, Reasons, and Values
  4. Thinking Historically
  5. Interpreting Texts
  6. Understanding Society
