Plan of the Curriculum

The requirements for the degrees of bachelor of arts and bachelor of science affirm our commitment to the liberal arts. As part of Kentucky Wesleyan's General Education Program, students take courses in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.

In addition to the General Education Program, Kentucky Wesleyan students also are required to pursue a concentration of studies within a special field to constitute a major. The object of concentration is to aid the student in acquiring comprehensive knowledge in a particular field of scholarly achievement at a high level of competence. 

In summary, Kentucky Wesleyan's curriculum offers students an opportunity to achieve concurrently (1) a liberal education that allows men and women to realize their personal potentials for intelligent living and (2) specialized knowledge in a particular discipline. 

Part of each student's education is to design his or her own program in consultation with his or her advisor. Students are responsible for organizing their studies to achieve the two-fold aim of excellence and completeness.
