CULTURAL ENRICHMENT REQUIREMENT AT LAGRANGE
COLLEGE
Because the intellectual and cultural opportunities during one’s college
years are exceptionally rich, and because exposure to a variety of cultural
experiences, and participation in a lively collegial atmosphere, during one’s
intellectually formative years, are vital to the concept of a liberal education,
LaGrange College is dedicated to assisting in this enrichment by requiring
all students to accumulate a prescribed number of Cultural Enrichment
(CE) credits over the course of their careers. Each semester a list of
approved Cultural Enrichment programs, lectures, presentations, events,
performances, recitals, etc., will be published in a brochure and on the
college web page. Attendance at a maximum of six designated athletic
events will count toward the total required for graduation. Many of these
events will occur during the Contact Hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and
some will double as required programs in the CORE classes.
