[edit] The Wagner Plan for the Practical Liberal Arts

Wagner College has developed a curriculum that unites deep learning and practical application. The Wagner Plan incorporates our longstanding commitment to the liberal arts, experiential learning and interdisciplinary education with our geographical location and enduring bond with New York City. Beginning in their very first semester at Wagner, students are not only studying issues, learning critical-thinking, writing and problem-solving skills, they are also seeing and putting into practice what they are learning. This "practical" side of liberal education is perhaps best defined in Wagner's curriculum because of the specific links created by our Learning Communities and Reflective Tutorials and, as importantly, the investment faculty make in connecting students with the world outside the classroom.

Under The Wagner Plan, students complete a liberal arts core program and a major, totaling 36 units/courses. As part of these requirements, students complete three Learning Communities (LC's)-one in the first year, one during the intermediate years, and one in the senior year in the major.
