Introduction

In Spring 2011, by vote of the LMU faculty, the University adopted a new University Core

Curriculum effective Fall 2013. This Guide is intended to assist faculty and students navigating

the shift from the ―old core‖ to new University Core Curriculum during this period of transition.

This Guide will describe:

The new University Core Curriculum requirements;

Implications of the new University Core Curriculum for the Old University Core

Curriculum;

Implications of the new University Core Curriculum for the University’s general

bachelor’s degree requirements.

LMU New Core Curriculum Description

2013-2014

The University Core Curriculum (hereafter referred to as ―Core‖) reflects the values of its

founding and partnering communities—The Society of Jesus (Jesuit), Religious of the Sacred

Heart of Mary (Marymount), and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange (CSJ). Rooted in the

traditional Jesuit emphasis on classics, philosophy, theology, the liberal arts, and faith that does

justice, the Core also reflects the Marymount commitment to faith, culture, and the arts.

Moreover, the CSJ work for unity and reconciliation pervades the Core’s emphasis on

integration.

The Core encourages students to value learning and to carry that love of learning into their future

lives. Valuing learning has two key components: a distinctively Catholic, humanistic vision of

intellectual inquiry as well as the cultivation of particular skills. Both are necessary for students

to be thoughtful, critical, and engaged citizens of the world.

The Core educates and values the whole person. The LMU University Core therefore emphasizes

the formation of students as whole persons, integrated in thinking, feeling, and action. As such,

the Core includes intellectual, creative/artistic, and moral development. The Core invites students

to analyze their relationship to others, to the world, and to God. The Core serves faith by

bringing students to a critical and appreciative understanding of religious traditions, and to see

the search for God as intrinsic to the human condition.

The Core recognizes LMU’s special role in creating women and men who will be discerning and

active members of diverse communities—local and global. The Core includes the study of

ethical theories and moral development, through which students come to recognize the value of

acting rightly and using knowledge mindfully in the promotion of justice.

The University Core Curriculum provides a common foundation for every undergraduate student

at LMU. Through the Core, LMU students will:

Develop fundamental skills in writing, speaking, and quantitative and analytical

reasoning;

Examine God, self, society, and the world using a variety of methods and perspectives;

Become creative and critical thinkers;

Become women and men for others.

4

Core Curriculum Components

The LMU Core moves from Foundations, to Explorations, to Integrations, carefully educating

students to become mindful women and men for others:

Foundations courses are designed to introduce students to the intellectual life of LMU, guiding

them to confront important issues about their values and society.

Explorations courses encourage students to engage in different disciplinary methods and

perspectives of the humanities, arts, natural sciences, and social sciences.

Integrations courses challenge students to take learned skills and knowledge from the

Foundation and Exploration courses, together with their majors, and apply them to

interdisciplinary consideration of thematic questions.

Flagged courses in writing, oral skills, quantitative reasoning, information literacy, and engaged

learning build on and reinforce the skills and critical thinking students obtain in the Foundations

courses.

Foundations

The LMU Core experience begins with an introduction of students to the intellectual life that

defines an LMU education. Students are guided to confront important issues about values, faith,

justice, race, gender, sexuality, and culture, together with the development of fundamental

communication and reasoning skills.

Courses in the Foundations level include:

The First Year Seminar, to be taken in the first semester, introduces students to

intellectual rigor, critical thinking, and basic writing skills while laying the foundation for

a life-long commitment to learning.

Rhetorical Arts and Quantitative/Mathematical Reasoning, to be taken during the first

year, emphasize important components of the development and expression of

independent, logical, and critical thinking. (Mathematical Reasoning courses satisfy the

Quantitative/Mathematical Reasoning requirement only with an appropriate score on the

Mathematics Placement Examination.)

Theological Inquiry, Philosophical Inquiry, and Studies in American Diversity, to be

taken by the end of the student’s second year, provide frameworks for understanding the

worldview and intellectual tradition implicit in LMU’s identity as a Catholic institution

located in the geographical, ethnic, and economic diversity of the greater Los Angeles

area.

Explorations

Explorations courses serve the education of the whole person by inviting students to engage in a

critical examination of self, society, and the world through a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

5

These courses build on the understanding and skills developed in the Foundations courses by

introducing students to a range of approaches to human knowledge necessary for becoming

intellectually and spiritually engaged citizens of the wider world.

Courses in Explorations include:

Creative Experience

Historical Analysis/Perspectives

Nature of Science, Technology, and Mathematics

Understanding Human Behavior

Students are encouraged to take these courses during their second and third years.

Integrations

Integrations courses are meant to serve as culminating experiences for the Core Curriculum,

encouraging students to develop a more mindful engagement with the world. Integrations

courses include reflection on questions of ultimate concern (service of faith), the development of

moral selves in solidarity with others (promotion of justice), and interdisciplinary and/or

humanistic engagement (education of the whole person).

Students are required to take three Integrations courses*—one in each of the categories:

Faith and Reason

Ethics and Justice

Interdisciplinary Connections

These courses are normally taken in years three and four. These courses may be taken in the

appropriate level of any language available at LMU.

*Students enrolled in a Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Engineering Physics are required

to take two Integrations courses—one in Faith and Reason and another in Ethics and Justice.

Flagged Courses

Flagged courses in writing, oral skills, information literacy, quantitative reasoning, and engaged

learning build on and reinforce the skills and critical thinking that students have obtained in the

Foundations courses. Any course—not just a Core course—at the 200 level or higher may

meet a flag requirement. No course may carry more than two flags. These courses may be taken

in the appropriate level of any language available at LMU. Pre-approved immersion courses

(domestic and abroad), community-based learning courses, and some courses through Study

Abroad may be used to satisfy the flag in engaged learning.

6

Advising Information

Students will work in consultation with her/his advisor to determine the impact of the shift from

―old‖ to ―new‖ University Core Curriculum. Generally, courses students have already taken in

the ―old‖ Core Curriculum will be able to fulfill corresponding areas of the ―new‖ Core

Curriculum. And courses offered in the ―new‖ Core Curriculum can be used to fulfill

corresponding areas of the ―old‖ core curriculum. In cases where the advisor is unable to

determine if a course fulfills a Core Curriculum (new or old) requirement, he/she should contact

the appropriate staff person in the Dean’s Office in her/his School/College.

General University Bachelor’s Degree Requirements

The bachelor’s degree requires a minimum of 120 units, including six (6) flagged courses*

(outlined in the University Core Curriculum) and 45 units of upper division course work, as well

as completion of:

University Core Curriculum Course Requirements

Major degree course requirements

Elective courses, if needed, to obtain the 120 unit minimum

*Any course—not just a Core course—at the 200 level or higher may meet a flag requirement. Courses meeting a

flag requirement must be approved by the University Core Curriculum Committee.

Students Transitioning to New Core (FR/SO)

Some core areas may require 2 courses. Check your original LMU Bulletin.

Only one course is required in each core area.

Not all courses in the Old Core will continue to be offered.

A course completed in an area of the Old Core will fulfill the corresponding area of the New Core

With the exception of First Year Seminar, any course in the New Core may be used to fulfill the corresponding area of the Old Core.

There is no corresponding area in the New Core for the Old Core literature requirement.

Students earning a Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Engineering Physics are exempt from the Interdisciplinary Connections requirement in Integrations.

Contact your Associate Dean's Office if you have questions regarding Core requirements. The Registrar’s Office will have full instructions on how to look up Core courses by Attribute through PROWL.

CORE CURRICULUM POLICIES

A single course may satisfy only one Core requirement aside from flags.

Students may satisfy major requirements with Core courses when the courses are approved for

both the major and the Core.

Students must take the First Year Seminar and Rhetorical Arts courses in their first year.

Although the order in which Core courses are completed is flexible, students are strongly

encouraged to take the remaining Foundations courses in Years 1 and 2, Explorations courses in

Years 1, 2 and 3, and Integrations courses in Years 3 and 4.

Flagged courses will typically be courses that satisfy other Core or major requirements, so they

will be taken over the student’s four years of study. Foundations courses carry no flags.

Explorations and Integrations courses can carry up to two flags.

NOTE: The Core develops over the student's four years.

9

CORE CURRICULUM GUIDELINES FOR NEW AND CONTINUING STUDENTS

AY 2013-2014

The process for determining whether and how students transition to the new core will be

determined at the college level. All continuing students except Seniors will be presented

with the opportunity to opt in to the new core. Students should choose whether to opt into

the new core prior to their registration for Fall 2013.

Courses that students take in the old core curriculum will count towards the new core

curriculum with the approval of their advisors and as determined by the academic

policies of the student’s College or School.

Students opting into the new core curriculum who have completed more than 80 units of

credit will be exempt from fulfilling the flag requirements.

First Year Students: In Fall 2013, all first-year students will matriculate in the new core

curriculum.

Seniors (students with 90-120 units): Students who have achieved senior status will

follow the old Core Curriculum.

All other students may choose whether to opt into the new core curriculum, with the

approval of their advisor, Department Chair and College/School Dean. Students

should consult with their advisors and refer to their college guidelines to decide

what choice is best for them.

o Generally, students with fewer than 60 credits are expected to matriculate in the

new core, while students with 60 credits or more are expected to remain in the old

core curriculum. Students should consult with their advisors and refer to their

college/School guidelines to decide what choice is best for them.

Transfer Students: Transfer students with 60 units or above, entering in fall 2013 and

2014 will follow the old core curriculum. Transfer students entering in Fall 2015 and

after will follow the new core curriculum. Transfer course work meeting Core

Curriculum requirements for matriculated students is at the discretion of the Dean’s

Office of the student’s College/School.

received from the College Board, applicants will be notified of the advanced placement and

course credit in accordance with the following table. Note that an essay is required for all

examinations offering optional essays.

No matter the major, all LMU students take courses in the University Core Curriculum.
