The Lafayette Common Course of Study (CCS) was revised by the faculty in 2012 to create an all inclusive core. The result is an organic general education program that will evolve and change as we review how well we are accomplishing what we aspire to teach our students. More information about CCS, including appropriate courses that fulfill their requirements, can be found here.
