General Education

通识教育计划的目标

在成功完成核心教育要求后, students will have had an opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills of a liberally educated person. At SNU, 我们相信要接受自由教育, a person must be more than merely a competent specialist in a narrow field of knowledge,but should be conversant in subjects that explore a wide range of human experiences. 接受自由教育, 一个人必须能够公开、诚实地研究所有领域的知识，认识到每一个领域的知识都与其他领域有着千丝万缕的联系, only when integrated, 接近全部真相. A person educated in a Christian context appreciates that proper study of God, 我们的世界/宇宙的基本原理, and humanity’s search for truth and meaning made manifest in the revelation of God through Christ. 我们相信，至少首尔大学的毕业生

To these ends, the faculty and students at SNU commit themselves to creating a learning environment that encourages and nurtures curiosity and is characterized by rigorous intellectual standards; a methodology requiring understanding prior to judgment; the freedom to study all fields of human knowledge and behavior critically, openly, and honestly; and the practice of civil discourse that demonstrates respect for all those involved in the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom (i.e.（教师、学生和科目）.

Honors Program 本科生研究研讨会

At SNU, 我们相信，最好的学习发生在学生, 教职员工在社区中共同工作. We also believe that high school only partially prepares you to succeed in college. That has a lot to do with a new and different set of expectations of college life and work. 美国各地的学生都在努力适应这种转变. 我们希望你能顺利过渡到大学. To help you do that, we have designed an approach called Learning Communities.

作为首尔大学的新生, you are expected to enroll in one paired course learning community in your first semester. 这意味着你将和一群像你一样的新生一起参加两个相连的课程，整个学期你将每周5天和同样的同学见面. Class sizes are kept small, averaging between 20 and 35 students, to create a familiar atmosphere. 在同样的两个班级里，和同样的一小群学生在一起, 你会找到一群可以一起学习的朋友. 你们会互相支持，变得更有效率, 第一学期成功的大学生, 什么能让你在四年后顺利毕业.

在我们为期四天的新生学院（NSI）中，你将在与同学见面的同时见到你的学习社区教授。. 教授将作为你的导师, getting to know you in casual settings (including a visit to their home) before classes even begin! 教师们之所以选择参加这个项目，是因为它为在首尔大学更高层次的参与和学习奠定了坚实的基础. 教授这些学习社区的教授们共同设计了一种学习体验，可以帮助你与他们和你的同龄人建立联系, introduce you to the skills you need to learn effectively at a college level, 并使你能够整合你在这两门课程中学到的知识和技能，创造出有意义的东西.

Finally, 你会认识更多的首尔大学教员, staff, 还有那些相信自己的成功是由你的成功来衡量的学生. During the semester, your Learning Community will have access to several workshops on transitional support led by Student Development Staff, get to meet the Library Director and Library Faculty during a session on Library and Research Literacy, and before the end of the term upper division students will lead a discussion on preparation for enrollment advising. The faculty, staff and students serving the Learning Communities will get to know you personally, 帮助你识别并运用上帝赋予你的力量, and help you develop into a highly effective member of our Christ-centered community of scholars.
