Abstract
The general education curriculum that supports the K Plan features breadth across the liberal arts, a
strong global and intercultural focus, widespread participation in meaningful study abroad and servicelearning,
rigorous majors, capstone experiences including Senior Individualized Projects for all students,
and a dedication to integration of the entire K experience. Three Shared Passages Seminars serve as
both preparation for, and integration of, the rich, transformational components of the K Plan.
Emphasizing student ownership of the educational experience, this curriculum encourages students to
develop both an ability to think creatively and analytically about a variety of issues and ideas, as well as
to bring unusual depth and passion to their particular field of interest.
