ACADEMICS WARTBURG PLAN OF ESSENTIAL EDUCATION The Wartburg Plan of Essential Education As a basis of a Wartburg College education, the Essential Education (Ess Ed) plan is comprised of a series of challenges that help create liberally educated, ethically-minded citizens for the 21st century. EssEd: Thinking Strategies, the Three Levels The introductory level IS (Inquiry Studies) Courses look at problems/ situations with the point of modeling how educated people formulate and respond to questions of personal and social importance. Designed as "pre-disciplinary" courses, IS courses favor broad processes of inquiry and articulation over narrow content and responses. The second level IC (Interconnected) Courses introduce students to the unique contributions of disciplines to our understanding of themes, issues, and fields of knowledge. These courses also connect a unique disciplinary understanding to another discipline's perspective (upon the same object of study), thus allowing students to experience how varied approaches and vocabularies provide new and useful insights. The third level ID (Interdisciplinary Courses) require students to synthesize knowledge. Students draw upon the work in their major(s) and experiences in IS and IC courses as they integrate knowledge across the humanities/fine arts, social sciences, and natural sciences. Such integration serves the understanding of a complex social, historical, or philosophical issue.
