Liberally educated individuals are curious and eagerly pursue many interests. Creative Engagements, or University 1780, helps first-year and transfer students get accustomed to exploring new ideas and participating in a variety of cultural activities.
To encourage a sampling of the intellectual and cultural experiences available on campus, students are expected to attend six required events during fall term and 10 additional events of their choice during fall and winter terms. Required events include:
The registrar’s office tracks student attendance and keeps faculty advisors informed of students’ progress. Students receive one-quarter credit for successfully completing the Creative Engagements requirements.
Creative Engagements also presents opportunities for students to engage in scholarly dialogue with peers and professors, outside of the pressures of graded courses. As students discover the benefits of these types of interactions, our goal is that they will develop a lifelong habit of participating in a community of inquiry.
Transylvania University admits students regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, or any other classification protected by federal or state law or local ordinance.
