Curriculum

The Gettysburg Curriculum aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to navigate a rapidly changing global environment and seeks to inspire our students to lead lives of meaning, service, and consequence.

There are two hallmarks of the Gettysburg Curriculum:

  1. We ask students to be self-reflective, to write and think in ways that express a growing self-awareness about the progress and impact of their education.
  2. We ask students to make connections in what they are learning, to see relevant implications across courses, to achieve an education that is more than a transcript of self-contained courses.

While completing their studies at Gettysburg College, students must complete 32 course units, including a major field of study and the following curricular requirements. For Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education, students must complete a total of 36 course units.
