              General Education Classes, do we really need them? This is a question that plagues many students in college. To take classes that seem to have nothing to do with your major seems utterly useless to many undergraduate college students. In this passage I will discuss my personal views on general education classes while also touching on views of other current and former undergraduate students.

    One of the most important things to know about a school, in my opinion, is the graduation requirements. After all, you want to know what you’re getting yourself into, don’t you?

    Today, I’m continuing my run-down of the CHC core curriculum with the ways of knowing, subject areas in which students are required to take one or two courses out of many possible options. Be sure to check out part one, the fundamentals, and part two, the proficiencies.

    Today, I’m continuing my run-down of the CHC core curriculum with the proficiencies, areas in which students must demonstrate ability but do not necessarily have to take a course. Be sure to check out part one, the fundamentals, and the upcoming part three, the ways of knowing.

    One of the most important things to know about a school, in my opinion, is the graduation requirements. After all, you want to know what you’re getting yourself into, don’t you?

    At Chestnut Hill College, we have a core curriculum (classes and subjects required of everyone) that includes both fundamental requirements (the same for everyone) and ways of knowing (subject areas that you have some flexibility in), as well as proficiencies (must demonstrate ability, but not necessarily take a course).

    Since the wording of requirements in course catalogs can often be confusing, I’ve prepared an easy (or at least easier) to understand run-down of CHC’s core curriculum. It’s split into three parts—today is the fundamentals; check back later for the proficiencies and the ways of knowing.
