Editorial 17 The Carroll News www.jcunews.com Feb. 9, 2012 Editorial Curriculum craziness The core curriculum is a hot topic among students, faculty and administration. Recently, the talk has turned into action and changes to the core requirements are being considered. As a Jesuit institution with a liberal arts tradition, the core plays an important role in the education and identity of the University. It is praised by some as opening up interests and opportunities they would not have normally been exposed to. Others criticize it for taking focus away from their majors and causing scheduling conflicts. An interchangeability of religion and philosophy courses and restructuring the first year seminar course is being con- sidered.

It is imperative that the University maintain its identity and focus on the liberal arts when considering the changes it is to make to the curriculum. However, administrators should also be receptive to student opinions and feedback about the changes. The student experience must be considered if a more beneficial education structure is to be built. Student Union should hold the administration accountable to its commitment to improve the educational experience and to press for the changes desired by students concerning the core. “ Cartoon by Emily Day The University administration and the student body must work together to overhaul the core curriculum.
