Samantha

Ursinus is known for its one of a kind freshmen English/philosophy course, CIE which discusses literature from ancient Babylonian times to the scientific revolution. Students dabble in arts, philosophy, music, religion, politics, all while sharing their own personal journeys related to each subject. Every faculty member is required to teach a section of CIE, thus creating a diversity of educational experiences each year. Often, out of classroom discussions happen in lounges and dorm rooms; and they transcend the obvious conclusions of these famous texts.
