Liberal Learning
At Christopher Newport University, our approach to the liberal arts and sciences is unique and
not available at any other public college or university in America
. In fact, we earned a perfect “A” rating from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) for the strength of our curriculum in
What Will They Learn?
ACTA’s study of 1,098 colleges and universities.
We require the seven subjects deemed essential to a quality education:
Literature
Composition
Economics
Mathematics
Foreign language
Science
American history/government
This comprehensive program of study develops students’ capacities of empowerment, knowledge and responsibility. All coursework at CNU – whether in the Liberal Learning Core, in the major fields, or in electives or courses taken for a minor, seeks to introduce, reinforce and advance student aptitude in these primary capacities.
