New Delhi: Alliance University in Karnataka introduced a new School of Liberal Arts on Friday, February 18, which will provide a one-of-a-kind undergraduate programme that allows students to pick courses and design their own degrees with majors and minors that interest them.
Chetan Bhagat, the well-known Indian author, was present for the school's online inauguration.
Transdisciplinarity, according to Vice-Chancellor Anubha Singh, is a distinctive element of Alliance University's liberal arts programme.
According to a release from Alliance University, given the complexity of 21st-century concerns like climate change, she spoke about the necessity for a reinvention of teaching that goes beyond conventional interdisciplinarity.
The statement further said, “The Alliance School of Liberal Arts curriculum is uniquely designed to help students develop overall personalities by enhancing their critical thinking, logical analysis, and fostering creativity. The Faculty of Liberal Arts will prepare students to be future-ready and improve their life skills”.
The School's goal is to help students grow holistically by exposing them to disciplines like sociology, political science, literature, philosophy, and Indian culture.
The university also offers a one-of-a-kind postgraduate fellowship programme named the "Global Leaders' Alliance" (GLA) fellowship in addition to the undergraduate programme.
The fellowship programme seeks to develop and teach young minds with exceptional potential to solve the distinctive and complex issues of the twenty-first century. The fellowship will be taught by a group of international faculty members from renowned universities throughout the world, including Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard.
English, Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Public Policy, Economics, Data Science, and Applied Mathematics are among the undergraduate majors offered by the School of Liberal Arts.
Students who enrol in the Alliance University programme will take a variety of foundation courses to help them build key abilities in critical thinking, research, and ethics. They will be able to learn a foreign language of their choice as well.
Students will have the opportunity to take classes taught by international professors. At the completion of their undergraduate education, these individuals will have an inside track into the GLA fellowship programme.
