In today's rapidly changing world, education must continuously adapt to keep pace with technological advancements and shifting career demands. Asia, particularly India, stands at the threshold of a challenging transformation in its educational landscape.
Despite our rich history of leadership, entrepreneurship, and management, we often find ourselves at a crossroads.
The changing face of global financial and trade architecture ensures that we can no longer afford to focus on only one domain. It is essential to skill oneself with the diverse opportunities unfolding across various fields and disciplines. The rise of artificial intelligence, innovative industry requirements, existential questions posed by the youth, the seemingly never-ending recession- all call for thoughtful minds who can think critically and analytically at the same time.
For decades, undergraduate programmes have confined students to a narrow or limited range of fields: Engineering, Management, Commerce, Design, Hotel Management, law, etc., compelling them to choose one domain. This conventional approach has limited student’s ability to develop 21st-century skills. With an increasing number of organisations seeking psychology and law graduates over engineers and MBAs, and so on, there is a growing appreciation for liberal education, which fosters interdisciplinary learning, adaptability, and a multidisciplinary approach. Solving complex problems and innovative thinking need a mind to be nurtured in diversity. Liberal education solves this puzzle
At SAGE University Centre for Liberal Education (CLE), we are committed to addressing these and other challenges. Our goal is to disrupt conventional, status-quo oriented thinking and thereby create educated, adaptable, and innovative citizens who are prepared to navigate and lead in this dynamic era. SAGE reinforces and repositions traditional disciplines as natural & physical sciences, management & leadership, humanities, social sciences, fine and performing arts, among others. In addition to these core subjects, we emphasize crucial skills such as design thinking and financial literacy. Our goal is to provide comprehensive education that prepares students not just for a career, but for life and its challenges. CLE is a movement and we seek support from parents, teachers, professionals, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, social reformers and all other stakeholders to participate in Nation Building.
Curriculum is THE factor in one's pursuit of higher education, determining the What, When, How and Where of the Teaching Learning process. It plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's life and career. It fosters wisdom oriented knowledge, strong ethical and moral values in students as they graduate. SUCLE program curriculum is meticulously designed to reflect this philosophy, blending the disciplines of management, commerce, humanities, and science to provide a holistic education.
