CSU's Inquiry Core Curriculum

Explore Your Passions, Discover Your Path

At CSU, we believe everyone creates new knowledge. The Inquiry Core Curriculum invites you to contribute to knowledge creation by asking interesting and complex questions, investigating them thoroughly, and producing signature work that you can be proud of.

As you journey through your core curriculum experience, you will establish a broad foundation in key concepts and theories, apply them to current issues, and develop core competencies vital to success in life and work.

You can take your inquiry further by participating in one or more Inquiry Pathways. These pathways will guide you in the exploration of some of the most pressing issues of our time from multiple disciplinary perspectives. 

No matter the path you take through the CSU Inquiry Core Curriculum, you will develop the knowledge and skills to think critically and autonomously, approach problems from multiple perspectives, and engage collaboratively with others in the pursuit of knowledge.
