Some schools call it “general education.” At Hood, we call it our “core curriculum.” Through Hood’s core, you’ll be exposed to different disciplines and encouraged to expand your perspectives. Developing your identity as a Hood student requires your heart, mind and hands.
The transition from high school to college can be challenging, and we want to set all students up for success. Through the “heart” of our core curriculum, you’ll develop intellectual and social growth. No matter where your college journey takes you, it all begins here.
Engaging with the core curriculum isn’t about checking boxes. Whether you’re majoring in accounting, art and archaeology, Arabic or art therapy, you’ll develop beneficial skill sets and habits of mind and make connections across disciplines.
You will engage in hands-on experiences, applying your classroom learning to real-life challenges in the community.
