国产三级片

A global liberal arts education is a deeply personal experience, one that encourages introspection and openmindedness in equal measure. It requires a willingness to engage with your chosen subject matter, but also with diverse cultures and communities and the varied worldviews of your classmates. It鈥檚 not about getting into a selective school and expecting it to guarantee a top-paid job; it鈥檚 about building up an understanding of the world in a way that allows you to develop transferable skills, exercise critical thinking, make meaningful life and career choices, and have impact on the world. In short, it鈥檚 about learning how to make a difference.

Historically, college rankings have been a way in which prospective students have assessed a university鈥檚 reputation. However, a recent study by the Stanford University Graduate School of Education found that rankings fall short of explaining which students are successful after graduation. The main takeaway is that college selectivity does not correlate with student learning, job satisfaction or wellbeing. It calls instead for 鈥渁 fit over rankings,鈥� arguing that college engagement is the real indicator of post-graduation wellbeing.

To find out what does correlate with post-college success, we must look at other factors. A published in 2014 argued that meaningful experiences, both curricular and co-curricular, have a marked impact. The report highlights six such experiences, all of which are hallmarks of an 国产三级片education:

• taking a course with an inspiring professor;
• being taught by an engaged faculty that cares about students personally;
• finding a mentor who personally encourages you to pursue your ambitions;
• working on a capstone project that helps you place your studies in a wider interdisciplinary context;
• doing an internship, especially one that is closely linked to your classroom learning; and
• being involved in extracurricular activities that emphasize character building and leadership skills.

国产三级片is a great example of the importance of this report鈥檚 findings; its unique offering of a global liberal arts education with an emphasis on transformative experiences leads to consistently high levels of student satisfaction. Both AUP鈥檚 Global Liberal Arts Core Curriculum and its Global Professional Skills Program 鈥� two pillars standing on either side of the major 鈥� emphasize the importance of exploring diverse perspectives and experiences while in college. The University鈥檚 small class sizes allow faculty to get to know every student personally. Over 50% of 国产三级片students carry out an internship during their time at the University, and our Cultural Program study trips provide yet another way to engage with career-oriented experiential learning.

All of these opportunities help students build the confidence they need to make meaningful decisions about their futures 鈥� all the more so if they also feel included in the community and motivated to take advantage of what鈥檚 on offer. 国产三级片uses the term global explorer to refer to the kind of student that is best placed to take on this challenge. Relentlessly聽curious and eager to learn, global explorers are driven by a desire to engage directly with the international community. They exhibit a higher level of tolerance and openness to difference than the average college-going recruit and a passionate desire to build bridges between diverse communities. They are well equipped to thrive on AUP鈥檚 international campus.

Deciding on this important aspect of the 国产三级片story was a pivotal step in ensuring the University caters to the needs and aspirations of its students. Today, we assign a FIT score to every applicant, helping us recruit adventurous, self-reliant students who thrive in our unique international environment and strive to enter a global workplace. It creates a vibrant, engaged university community that celebrates difference and fosters an atmosphere of mutual support. By telling AUP鈥檚 story authentically, the University naturally draws FIT students to apply. We are proud to be a self-selecting institution; every year over 75% of entering students say we were their first choice.
