Liberal Learning Foundations
Principles of Liberal Learning Christopher Newport University involves students in a rich, multifaceted tradition of intellectual exploration grounded in the common principles of liberal learning. The program of study develops students' capacities of empowerment, knowledge and responsibility. All coursework at CNU -- whether in the Liberal Learning Core, in the major, or in elective courses or courses in a minor -- seeks to introduce, reinforce, and advance student aptitude in these primary capacities. These principles are more precisely addressed in the CNU Goals of Liberal Learning document. The Faculty Council on Liberal Learning thanks the Association of American Colleges and Universities for Greater Expectations, the document that inspired and shaped these goals.
