Eastern’s Liberal Arts Core (ELAC) constitutes 40 of the 120 credits needed to graduate. ELAC is a systematic approach to support all Eastern students in mastering five "Learning Outcomes" — core competencies essential to successful careers and active civic lives. Each course in the Liberal Arts Core curriculum uses at least one "High Impact Practice" — engaging, active learning methods — to quantify and articulate the learning that takes place. The First-Year Experience combines foundation courses in mathematics and writing with exciting, engaging seminars of 20 students or fewer. ELAC also incorporates student-led academic planning in a student’s first year.
