Occidental College
Los Angeles, CA
Occidental College says, "As a liberal arts institution, Occidental College is committed to the principle that education is far more than training in a field or preparation for a specific career. We believe instead that education should be both broad and deep; that it should foster intellectual skills of agility, inquiry, synthesis, and the ability to move comfortably among multiple perspectives; and that students are active participants in the ongoing construction of knowledge that is higher education’s purpose. The Core Program— a cross-disciplinary array of courses required of all students providing the intellectual foundation for Occidental's commitment to excellence, equity, service, and community—is the most direct expression of this commitment."
