Educational Philosophy and Programs

Reflecting Earl Warren's tenure as Chief Justice, Warren College's official motto is "Toward a life in balance."

Warren College emphasizes the importance of living a balanced life and creating a balanced education. Warren College seeks to create academically balanced scholars. Warren College has General Education requirements ("GE"s) that are easy to individualize, though the campus-wide requirement of two writing courses still holds. While the number of classes required is no less than the other five colleges, one often has more freedom in choosing the classes.

Programs of Concentration

All courses are organized into three disciplines, (1) math/physical sciences, (2) social sciences, and the (3) humanities. Warren College allows students to pursue a major of their choice in any discipline while requiring the completion of two Programs of Concentration (PofCs) in the other two disciplines. Each Program of Concentration is composed of six courses, of 4-units, (e.g., a history major could take six classes in political science and six classes in biology as well).

Engineering Students

Student looking towards an Engineering, B.S. degree, however, are required to complete two Area Studies (A/S), each comprising three courses, of 4-units, at least two of which must be upper-division courses. Similar to PofCs, Area Studies must be non-contiguous to the student's major and to each other.

Warren College is home to a large number of engineering students because its general education requirements are more flexible for students pursuing an undergraduate degree in engineering.

In 2006, the college has added a new building dedicated to the study of Information Technology, called Calit2.

Writing Programs

Warren College's writing program consists of a two-quarter sequence based on the model of argumentation developed by British philosopher Stephen Toulmin.
