Birmingham Southern’s new Explorations curriculum changes general education away from a more traditional, “check-box” approach. Which highlights disciplinary requirements to one that pressures the importance of what students learn to do. This new pedagogy of doing is delineated by requirements that guide students in learning how to communicate productively, solve complex problems in innovative ways, connect their coursework to the vaster world, employ with their social and political world, and employ in self-directed teaching and learning. These are the specific skills and outlooks that professional schools, graduate schools, and employers are searching in today’s increasingly complex and inter-connected world.
