The Commons: What Sets CMU Apart
Please Note
- It is important that you inquire about admission and program requirements at the universities you are considering after CMU. You should work with the Advising office at CMU to construct a program of studies that will achieve your objectives. This is the responsibility of the student.
CMU is distinguished by its vision of the Commons. The Commons is the implementation of an interdisciplinary education. This approach creates graduates that write persuasively, speak confidently, and think critically. CMU is committed not only to giving students a credential, but to inviting them into a formative experience in which they exercise their thinking within a community of real-world engagement.
The Commons means that there are certain classes that all students get to take. These classes pull from core disciplines including Making, Theology, Science, Social Science, Indigenous Studies, Anabaptist Studies, and Ways of Knowing.
