The Enriched Core

Requirements: (9 credits)
Students at Caldwell University will complete one course (3 credits) in each of the three clusters below.

Catholic and Dominican Tradition
Courses in this cluster will create and deepen your connection to, and understanding of Roman Catholic and Dominican heritage.

Global Awareness and Cultural Understanding
Courses in this cluster will enhance your understanding of the contemporary world through a focused examination of issues of current global concern and/or the development of characteristics of other societies and cultures.

Ethical Inquiry and Applications
Courses in this cluster will critically examine the rational foundations of ethics and/or focus on the application of ethical parameters to specific issues, themes or areas of inquiry.

Courses for the Enriched Core will change each semester. Offerings are listed by semester on the Advising page of the portal under Enriched Core.

NOTATIONS:
Courses taken to fulfill the Foundational Core may NOT be used to fulfill the Enriched Core.

Courses taken to fulfill the Enriched Core may not be used to fulfill the major, unless through an approval of substitution. If approved, students may NOT double count between the Enriched Core and major electives and an alternative Enriched Core elective will need to be taken to complete the core requirements.

Courses taken for the Enriched Core may also be credited towards a minor. See pages 42 – 43 of the Academic Catalog for further rules on double counting within a minor.

If a culture course was taken to fulfill the Modern Languages core, students may continue in the same language at the appropriate level to fulfill the Global Awareness and Cultural Understanding requirement.
