Arts and Sciences, is central to its larger mission and identity as a university in the Catholic and Jesuit traditions preparing students for responsible leadership in a global society.</p> <p>As stated in the university missions statement, "Fordham affirms the value of a core curriculum rooted in the liberal arts and sciences. The University seeks to foster in all its students life-long habits of careful observation, critical thinking, creativity, moral reflection, and articulate expression."</p> <p>The core curriculum advances the design of the undergraduate curriculum as a whole. As students' majors and electives allow specialization and individualization in their studies, the core curriculum assures that every student's undergraduate education is anchored, as a whole, in the liberal arts as presented by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.</p> <p>The Fordham Core Curriculum is unique in its integration of requirements throughout the student's attendance and development at the university.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161220070540/http://legacy.fordham.edu/UndergraduateBulletin/">Core Curriculum in the Undergraduate Bulletin</a></p> <p><strong>Core Curriculum Course Requirements</strong><br/><a href="/web/20161220070540/http://www.fordham.edu/downloads/file/2643/liberal_arts_core_cuuriculum">Core Curriculum Executive Summary</a></p> <p><strong>Proposals for Core Curriculum Courses</strong><br/>To submit a proposal:</p> <ol> <li>Go to the relevant cover sheet: <span><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161220070540/http://legacy.fordham.edu/academics/faculty_of_arts__sci/arts_and_sciences_co/faculty_resources_fo/eloquentia_perfecta_88237.asp">Eloquentia Perfecta</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161220070540/http://legacy.fordham.edu/academics/faculty_of_arts__sci/arts_and_sciences_co/faculty_resources_fo/interdisciplinary_ca_88238.asp">Interdisciplinary Capstone</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161220070540/http://legacy.fordham.edu/academics/faculty_of_arts__sci/arts_and_sciences_co/faculty_resources_fo/value_seminar_88239.asp">Value Seminar</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161220070540/http://legacy.fordham.edu/academics/faculty_of_arts__sci/arts_and_sciences_co/faculty_resources_fo/american_pluralism_88236.asp">American Pluralism</a> or <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161220070540/http://legacy.fordham.edu/academics/faculty_of_arts__sci/arts_and_sciences_co/faculty_resources_fo/global_studies_83040.asp">Global Studies</a></span></li> <li>Fill out the required information and answer the questions;</li> <li>Use the browse button to locate your syllabus and open it.
