Why are students required to take Clare College courses?
Clare College reflects our commitment to the Catholic and Franciscan tradition, and our identity as a liberal arts based University. In 1995, the faculty decided to create Clare College in order to ensure the integrity of the core and provide a shared intellectual experience for its undergraduates. Students in Clare College learn an appreciation of their history, culture, religion, and science, and they develop an awareness of other cultures and traditions. Having completed this curriculum, students will be better prepared to be intelligent and moral citizens of the emerging global community of the new century.
