LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM AND REQUIREMENTS
Explore your passions
While each major program at Emerson engages the liberal arts in a manner appropriate to its discipline(s), there is a distinct Liberal Arts curriculum in which you will engage as a Marlboro student.
FOUNDATIONS: FIRST-YEAR CURRICULUM
The Foundations curriculum introduces you in your first-year to the intellectual life of the academy and its responsibilities to the wider world. Courses cultivate habits of thought, methods of inquiry, and means of presentation to prepare you for a successful academic career. You will be ready to engage in discussions about the academic, professional, and public issues you will encounter in your undergraduate education and beyond.
PERSPECTIVES: BREADTH CURRICULUM
The Perspectives curriculum helps you discover a variety of liberal arts disciplines beyond your major. Through exposure to liberal arts traditions, you will understand the kinds of questions and methods explored by these knowledge communities. You are given flexibility to choose individual courses that interest and challenge you, and build clusters of courses that promise the greatest degree of integration with your major.
