I don’t get it. What’s the point of all these G.E. classes?

Unlike an apprenticeship or vocational trainings those enrolled in the modern university are typically required to complete a series of general education courses. Some universities call these “breadth requirements” as they focus more on a breadth of knowledge, than depth of knowledge that typically accompanies higher level courses. The central purpose of general education is to provide a broad knowledge and balanced view of the world in which we live. In medieval times, breadth was comprised of

• The trivium (“the three ways” or “the three roads”), and included grammar, dialectic and rhetoric
• The quadrivium (“the four ways” or “the four roads”), and included arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy

The trivium focused broadly on the art of thinking and the expression of thought, whereas the quadrivium, as outlined in Plato’s The Republic, focused on space and time, and the quantity, magnitude, proportion, structure and motion of bodies, or in the case of music, sound. The trivium was considered preparatory course work for the more difficult quadrivium, but both were intended to assist in the development of critical thinkers. As a student of the modern university, that’s you! And breadth requirements even extend to students at polytechnic universities where depth and application of knowledge are a particularly distinguishing characteristic.

Interesting footnote: In 1775, Provost William Smith of the University of Pennsylvania suggested that a “Seal of the Corporation” be developed to identify the University, and any items originating from it. With Benjamin Franklin serving as Chairman of the Board, the design of this seal included the seven subjects of the trivium and quadrivium as books stacked upon one another.

Internships

Along with your academic department, the Career Center is an excellent place to find internship opportunities. If you are interested in finding internships posted by your department, simply go to the Cal Poly Pomona homepage and type “Internships” in the search box.

Research

Your department can serve as a great resource for you in finding open research opportunities. Some of these are available on campus, while other opportunities are off-campus, in another state, or even in another country. Some of these also include a research stipend. Whether you are a graduate or undergraduate student, see your advisor and ask where you might find open research opportunities. To get started in your search, here are three programs you might want to browse. Let us know if you learn of other programs by completing the feedback link at the bottom of this page.
