DESCRIPTION
Students studying in the Critical Thinking Track will enroll into an innovative curriculum modality comprised of 2 academic modules: Media: Shaping our Perceptions and Principles for a Life Philosophy. These comprehensive modules meet for 120 minutes, 5 days a week over a 4 week session for a combined total of 2,400 minutes.
The purpose of Media: Shaping Our Perceptions module is to explore the role of media in western democracies and the ways in which such an influential sector shapes culture, politics and the economy. The course aims to achieve this goal through a critical perspective, that is, by highlighting the positive and, more importantly, the negative effects of Media on society and citizenship.
The purpose of the In Search of Principles for a Life Philosophy module is to provide students with a time and a space for humanistic growth and learning. It is our firm belief that humanistic learning leads also to the improvement of professional capabilities. More cultivated human beings make better managers and executives.
