UMPI says, "the concepts fostered throughout the Curriculum are: literacy; numeracy; personal, social, and cultural awareness; scientific inquiry; and an appreciation of the arts. The courses chosen to address these themes actively engage the student in searching for a place in the larger context of society, culture, history, expression, thought, and human behavior. Ultimately, the Curriculum gives each student, regardless of major, the basis for grasping the complexities of life as a whole and the tools to confront its challenges." [Source]
