"Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." ~ Malcom X

I like to think of the core curriculum as the foundation for all that we do at MCLA academics wise. The Tier I requirements are the foundation of this foundation, honing the skills that allow us to succeed at MCLA and our lives. Tier II expands on this foundation making sure we learn how to use multiple disciplines to analyze the information we take in. Then finally the Tier III requirement pulls everything you have learned together as you apply the skills you have perfected to the topic of your capstone.
