LENSES

An Inclusive Arts and Sciences Foundation

The LENSES (Learning Experiences Nurturing Student Enlightenment and Success) program at Methodist College expands a student's single focus on their major to a spectrum of interdisciplinary experiences that enrich student learning and reinforce how different areas of study are connected.

The Liberal Arts & Sciences courses in the LENSES program teach foundational knowledge and skills that students can carry forward to their professional careers:

• Citizenship
• Critical thinking
• Communication
• Cultural Humility
• Problem solving
• Teamwork
