GER5 Criteria

A liberally educated person should possess knowledge of important literary or artistic achievements, and how those achievements should be understood in their cultural contexts. A course satisfies GER 5 in one of the following ways:

1. It would introduce students to at least two major forms, genres, eras, cultures, or movements; or
2. It would introduce students to at least two methods of analysis of art or literature.

All GER 5 courses will provide students with the vocabulary of the discipline and teach them to apply the appropriate methodologies for critical analysis.
