Bacone College Core Curriculum

The “Bacone Core” are those courses that the College requires all students to take to demonstrate knowledge in the classic fields of human thought in the sciences and humanities. The philosophy underlying the Bacone Core is to help students become:

• Spiritually self-aware, self-directed, life-long learners

• Informed, responsible, resourceful citizens and community leaders in local and global contexts

• Ethical and moral decision-makers

• Critical thinkers with effective communication skills

• Individuals with an awareness of cultural diversity and social heritage

• Individuals appreciative of aesthetic expressions

• Learners who skilled in mathematical reasoning and scientific inquiry

The value and efficacy of the Bacone Core will be demonstrated by graduating students who:

• Have participated in community service projects in various course settings

• Have participated in campus and community cultural and civic events

• Can communicate effectively in verbal and in written prose

• Have achieved a passing grade in all courses in the core curriculum

• Can critically evaluate information and its sources

• Have scored above the national average in critical thinking, reading, writing, scientific reasoning, and mathematical skill as measured by the CAAP assessment test

• Have achieved an understanding of aesthetic beauty by engaging in a mode of artistic expression

• Have experienced spiritual growth by learning more about the Christian faith

• Have experienced moral growth by living according to a Christian code of ethics

The Bacone Core is designed according to specific curricular themes consistent with a liberal arts education:
