Supporting Success Through Humanistic Education
The Magis Core Curriculum supports and reflects Fairfield University’s mission of educating the whole person and offering ongoing opportunities for transformation.
Rooted in Jesuit ethos, our core curriculum prepares students for success through a distinctive academic experience that establishes personal values and comprehension skills. Students also develop advanced skills that enable lifelong learning, such as excellence in writing, critical reasoning, synthesis of solutions, communication, and an understanding of the “why” and “how” of associated human behaviors.
All undergraduate students, regardless of school or major, will complete the Magis Core Curriculum requirements. The Magis Core was designed with specific consideration for students seeking to maximize the transformative experience of higher education. Regardless of one’s intended major, the purpose of the Magis Core is to expose students to a broad array of interdisciplinary perspectives.
