The purpose of the TBR General Education Core is to prepare every student to navigate a world of evolving opportunities. It is unbounded by academic discipline and challenges students to discover the inherent interconnectedness of knowledge and the intersection of self and society.
The 7 Core Competencies
Learning outcomes for all Core courses in a student’s degree program are aligned with the 7 Core Competencies established by TBR faculty. These learning outcomes are measured through assessments designed, reviewed, and approved by the faculty from the associated disciplines at each college.
Critical Thinking is the Core Competency Constellation’s North Star - a guiding principle for all courses in the TBR Core curriculum, which comprises the 7 competencies crucial for effectively navigating life at all levels: personal, professional, and civic.
As they experience the range of TBR Core courses in their program, students will have repeated opportunities to develop, refine, and reinforce all seven core competencies as they thoughtfully engage with key insights from across the academic spectrum and the history of human thought.
The 7 Core Competencies are:
- Critical Thinking
- Communication
- Ethical Reasoning
- Creative & Artistic Expression
- Global & Cultural Awareness
- Scientific Inquiry & Mathematical Reasoning
- Information Literacy
