摘要
The Metropolitan College of New York liberal arts core curriculum model innovates the liberal arts core and establishes social justices as its foundation. This "new" core was developed as an ability driven, information literate, interdisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge and skill into each course's design; while maintaining a student-centered approach. How this curriculum represents a student-centered approach toward social justice while improving student learning abilities, contributing to better learning outcomes, expanding career goals and giving students the necessary tools to use words to improve the world while making a living is the focus of this paper.
