Worldview

The American Culture and Ideas Initiative proposes a pedagogical worldview that sees the arts as embedded in the survival of humanity. The beauty of the world is explored. An ennobling vision is presented. Course offerings are couched in a philosophy of the arts that recognizes that the success of the human species has been intimately tied to humanity’s innovations and achievements in the arts.
