The purpose of the Palm Liberal Arts Core Curriculum is to provide our undergraduate students with a foundation for lifelong learning through integrative, cumulative, and interdisciplinary courses that foster the development of critical, analytical and creative thinking, problem-solving skills, effective communication, quantitative and information literacy, the application of technology, and a capacity for ethical reasoning, with the ultimate goal of equipping our students to succeed in a diverse global environment.

Our emphasis on an interactive and interdisciplinary required core curriculum drives the essence of our Humanities and Social Sciences Department. The department suggests, designs, introduces, and teaches introductory and foundational courses such as Palm Success, Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Communication, Critical Thinking, Design Thinking, and Problem Solving, History, Philosophy, Sociology, and Psychology, etc. to prepare our students for college and industry success.
