Core Curriculum and Program Requirements
The underpinnings for an undergraduate core curriculum flow out of Xavier's long-standing commitment to liberal arts, the Catholic intellectual tradition, and Jesuit education.
Rooted in the liberal arts, Xavier's core liberates and humanizes by deepening students' understanding, developing their abilities, and promoting openness and respect. Furthering the Catholic intellectual tradition, Xavier's core brings faith into dialogue with reason, and thus addresses the whole person, intellectually, morally, and spiritually, and carrying Jesuit education into the twenty-first century, Xavier's core develops men and women for others-one for all-committed to six distinctive Jesuit values:
- Magis
- Reflection
- Discernment
- Cura Personalis
- Solidarity and Kinship
- Service Rooted in Justice and Love
