liberal learning

The primary goal of the AUW curriculum is to provide young women with a solid foundation in critical thinking skills, complex problem solving and quantitative reasoning, which are the cornerstones of a quality liberal arts education.

 

Undergraduate Programs

The undergraduate program at the Asian University for Women will be offered as a collaborative effort among three main academic divisions within the University: humanities/arts, social sciences, and natural sciences.

The undergraduate curriculum seeks to develop the broad perspectives, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving capacities required for effective leadership while connecting classroom learning with real-life experience. The educational process will be characterized by participation in research and community projects, and the analysis of case and fieldwork of various kinds. Students will then continue into a graduate program.
