学习米矿石

通识教育B.A.

The Shimer School Liberal Studies Major comprises the entirety of the School's c矿石 curriculum. Liberal Studies majors take the full complement of courses in all three major areas of the curriculum: humanities, 自然科学, 以及社会科学. 研究人类知识和创造的广度, largely (but not entirely) in traditions from Europe and North America, allows Liberal Studies majors to integrate knowledge and methods from disparate fields and develop insights that transcend any given discipline of study. 和所有希默学校的学生一样, those in Liberal Studies develop their insights through a combination of individual reflection; small-class discussions; intensive writing, peer-editing and revision of essays; and the variety of practical exercises that reflect our readings in each area sequence of courses.

Breadth and depth of knowledge and skills characterize graduates of the Shimer School. Through the c矿石 curriculum of the Shimer School they immerse themselves in major classic and contemporary works of human expression, 社会思想和科学知识与实践. Their broad familiarity with fundamental ideas and methods across the Liberal Arts provides the foundation on which they build increasingly refined understanding and skills in m矿石 specialized courses in chosen disciplines taught across 中北书院. Shimer School graduates thus find meaningful employment in an unusually broad array of fields, 包括教学, 社会工作, 法律, small business and entrepreneurial enterprise and non-profit administration among the most common.
