Canisius Camino: a core curriculum pathway
ICMS offers a pathway through the Core Curriculum which we call “The Canisius Camino.” The Canisius Camino invites Canisius students to experience the Core Curriculum as a guided pilgrimage towards critical knowledge and skills that are hallmarks of a Jesuit education and essential to global citizenship in the 21st century by journeying through the rich and challenging fields of Classics and Medieval Studies.
Students on the Camino will benefit from complementary courses (“albergues”) that focus on the religions, philosophy, literature, arts, history, and social elements that have profoundly influenced their world. At albergues along “the way” students can learn about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in depth, the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, Augustine and Aquinas, the literature of Homer and Vergil, Chaucer and Dante, and Beowulf. They can learn about classical and medieval art and architecture and be introduced to fundamental aspects of archaeology. Students can also stop at History albergues and learn about Greek democracy and Roman imperialism, Vikings and the Crusades, and they can delve into the exacting and critical nature of Roman law. Along the Canisius Camino, students will have the opportunity to reflect upon the long arc of justice and ethics, cultural and social behaviors and trends. They will strengthen their ability to communicate orally and will learn to write with greater clarity and precision. The list of fields and attributes that are covered already by current CC certified courses makes clear that such a pilgrimage meshes seamlessly with the core and the mission of Canisius College. The Canisius Camino currently focuses primarily on the western world, but as ICMS becomes more firmly established, it will broaden its scope. Additional courses being developed will only enhance the journey.
ICMS is a community of faculty and students. It currently has affiliated faculty from six departments: Classics, English, Fine Arts, History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies. Students who choose to experience the Core Curriculum along the Camino will also be welcomed as Student Members of ICMS and have the opportunity to participate fully in all its activities.
