What is the Core Curriculum?

Показать описание
Imagine if you spent two years of your life immersed in the study of the greatest ideas that have ever been spoken, written, or created...
Imagine if you actually wrestled with these ideas, and allowed yourself to be shaped by them...
Would those years change your understanding of yourself? Of the world, and of others? Would they challenge your assumptions and beliefs? Would they affect the way you think, the choices you make, even the trajectory of your life?
We know, that's pretty lofty stuff. But it's exactly what Hillsdale's Core Curriculum is designed to do.
The Core Curriculum is the foundation of a liberal arts education at Hillsdale.
Throughout your first two years at Hillsdale, you'll read classical literature and contemplate human nature. You’ll debate timeless philosophical and theological traditions, and wrestle with the deepest questions in life.
You’ll learn the history, heritage, and design of our nation, and examine the foundational ideals of freedom and self-government.
And you’ll explore the rules, wonders, and design of our physical world.
These aren’t disconnected Gen Eds meant to make you “well rounded,” but a deep and systematic study of the most important things.
We believe that these interconnected disciplines that make up Hillsdale’s Core Curriculum, are worth studying for their own sake.
Because they are time-tested and universally relevant. Because they are good, true, and beautiful.
And because together, they create for us a window to our past, and the gateway to our future.

I'm convinced. However I have a problem. I'm 83 years old. A lot of things don't work quite as well anymore. I do take some of your online courses and I find them very interesting and enlightening. Keep up the good work.

As a current student, I can attest that this is no exaggeration. The core works to the betterment of all who actively participate in it, and attending Hillsdale has been one of the best decisions I have made. (Let me know if you have questions for a student or something.)

I'm glad to see there's a college where education still exists.

You can do this on your own. Without having to part with your money.

This would have been a far superior education than at The Evergreen (Everwierd) State College in the 90s. The MA history program at Eastern Washington University was better but still full of leftist dogma. Books like Defending the West by Ibn Warraq helped me to see the leftist revision history. I wish I could afford this course or is it free online? I've gone through several Hillsdale free online courses- fantastic!

Just saw a clip from grade 4 in lesson was: What to do with non vax people? It was not good. Ever wonder how the German people could do that stuff in the 30's and 40's ? They are still everywhere !!!

Become better and more authentic, growing closer to God everyday beyond hiding behind church attendance.👀🤦‍♀️ Are you a non hypocritical and non judgmental Christian in your everyday life?
