General Education

Goals of the General Education Program

Upon successfully completing their core educational requirements, 学生将有机会获得一个受过通识教育的人所具备的知识和技能. At SNU, we believe that to be liberally educated, 一个人必须不仅仅是在一个狭窄的知识领域里有能力的专家,但应该熟悉探索广泛的人类经验的科目. To be liberally educated, 一个人必须能够公开、诚实地研究所有领域的知识，认识到每一个领域的知识都与其他领域有着千丝万缕的联系, only when integrated, approach the whole truth. 在基督教背景下接受教育的人会欣赏对上帝的适当研究, the underlying principles of our world/universe, 以及人类对真理和意义的追求，这在上帝通过基督的启示中得到了体现. We believe that, at a minimum, SNU graduates

To these ends, the faculty and students at SNU commit themselves to creating a learning environment that encourages and nurtures curiosity and is characterized by rigorous intellectual standards; a methodology requiring understanding prior to judgment; the freedom to study all fields of human knowledge and behavior critically, openly, and honestly; and the practice of civil discourse that demonstrates respect for all those involved in the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom (i.e., faculty, students, and subjects).

Honors Program Undergraduate Research Symposiums

At SNU, we believe that the best learning happens when students, faculty and staff work together in community. 我们也相信高中教育只是为你在大学取得成功做了部分准备. 这与对大学生活和工作的一套全新的、不同的期望有很大关系. Students across the US struggle to make that transition. We want you to make a successful transition to college. 为了帮助你做到这一点，我们设计了一种叫做“学习社区”的方法.

As an incoming SNU freshman, 你应该在第一学期参加一个配对课程学习社区. 这意味着你将和一群像你一样的新生一起参加两个相连的课程，整个学期你将每周5天和同样的同学见面. 班级规模很小，平均在20到35名学生之间，以创造一种熟悉的氛围. By being in the same two classes with the same small group of students, you will find a natural group of friends with which to study. You’ll support one another to become highly effective, successful college students in your first semester, which will set you up to successfully graduate four years from now.

在我们为期四天的新生学院(NSI)中，你将在与同学见面的同时见到你的学习社区教授。. The professors will serve as your Faculty Mentors, 甚至在上课前就在非正式的场合(包括拜访他们的家)了解你! 教师们之所以选择参加这个项目，是因为它为在首尔大学更高层次的参与和学习奠定了坚实的基础. 教授这些学习社区的教授们共同设计了一种学习体验，可以帮助你与他们和你的同龄人建立联系, 向你介绍在大学阶段有效学习所需的技能, 并使你能够整合你在这两门课程中学到的知识和技能，创造出有意义的东西.

Finally, you’ll get to know a larger group of SNU faculty, staff, and students who believe that their success is measured by your success. During the semester, 您的学习社区将有机会参加由学生发展工作人员领导的过渡支持研讨会, 在图书馆和研究素养的会议上与图书馆馆长和图书馆教职员工见面, 在学期结束前，高年级学生将领导关于入学通知准备工作的讨论. The faculty, 为学习社区服务的员工和学生将会亲自了解你, help you identify and apply your God-given strengths, 并帮助你发展成为我们以基督为中心的乐天使官网社区的高效成员.
