All undergraduates at the Mount complete the College’s core curriculum, participating in a common intellectual experience and a core of shared learning. The core extends over a full four years, pairing classes from a range of disciplines to provide all students with a solid foundation of knowledge, an appreciation of values, and a wide range of skills such as analysis, problem solving, and communication. No matter what your major, the core will deepen your understanding and expand your horizons.

The curriculum consists of courses in three divisions:

• Core foundation courses explore the contemporary world, and focus on the past to gain an understanding of one’s own cultural heritage and respect for other cultures.
• Core area courses focus on knowledge that is central to living in a technologically advanced society.
• Core enrichment courses include World Literature, Emphasis on Applied Ethics, and Emphasis on Personal and Social Values.
