We get it.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you declare one of our majors, you will inevitably get the question, \u201cwhat are you going to do with that?\u201d To be fair, pretty much every college student in every major gets that question. But you might feel more sensitive, given the current emphasis on STEM and business. But don\u2019t despair! We have answers here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skills you\u2019ll acquire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll learn how to think critically. This skill is in demand in pretty much every job you will encounter. Being able to sort through the noise and get to the heart of thorny questions and problems will make you stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll learn how to write well. If you can express yourself in writing, you will find more doors open for you. Good writing is a process, and even professional writers (and professors!) find that they can always improve. We\u2019ll be on that journey with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll learn how to speak well. We have courses that build verbal expression skills, both in small groups and in more formal public settings. We can\u2019t guarantee that you won\u2019t still have some communication apprehension, but we\u2019ll help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, you will be uniquely equipped to ask and to develop strategies for responding to the great questions of our time, both abstractly and practically. You will understand how the great challenges of our time have been conditioned by tradition, faith, and reason. You will see first-hand how you people and institutions manage those questions and learn how to make a difference in the lives of our communities. CPR is the critical nexus of humanistic questioning and the essential ground for proposing fair and thoughtful answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
