Introduction to Hamilton’s Curriculum
Hamilton prides itself in attracting and developing faculty who are both disciplinary experts and dedicated teachers. Through our shared governance process our faculty committed to an open curriculum that is guided by a set of educational goals. Through advising relationships, students are challenged to explore and “know thyself” through a wide array of disciplinary-based, skill-based, and experientially-based courses.
The links below provide a quick guide to understanding Hamilton’s curriculum, as well as policies surrounding and sources for curricular support. This information will be useful as you begin planning your courses and interacting with colleagues on campus.
