Statement Of Purpose: Union

Decent Essays
Union is different. I know that Union is the right fit for me, from its one-of-a-kind Minerva houses to unique liberal arts education opportunities. I have always believed that creativity stems from freedom, so I admire how Union encourages students to think beyond their majors and pursue what interests them. Union’s educational ecosystem enables the cross-pollination of ideas, allowing students to explore fields that are poles apart, while simultaneously making education enjoyable and leading students to success. I believe this interdisciplinary approach will make me better able to weather challenges and thrive in today’s Darwinian world.
Furthermore, Union’s educational programs constantly adapt to the ever-changing demands of the job market

    “Is College Doomed?” Graeme Wood proposed this rhetorical question comparing online schooling and traditional education; ironically, Wood depicts college and universities as expensive and adequate, but the online schooling, Minerva he proposes in his essay is quite basic. There are no buildings, students move yearly, and there are no clubs, organizations, or athletic teams. Founder of Minerva, Ben Nelson, suggests that his online schooling offers a more sophisticated education, but the students are not familiar with an actual college experience. College is about community engagement, allowing college students to feel independent; in addition, college provides resources and services that are beneficial for students.…

    Schools today have strayed from the original educational goal of educating our population to a higher standard. They have focused on making profit rather than providing the best education they possibly can. Colleges today should focus on helping to spread education throughout the world in any way they can. Graeme Wood’s article “Is College Doomed?” shows a new, nontraditional college called Minerva. Colleges as they are today should be known as businesses rather than schools.…

    Being a part of South Central Scholars, and attended a 7-week summer academy in hopes to better prepare me for college, I learned about Harvey Mudd. This non- profit organization persuaded all the scholars to apply to private Liberal arts colleges in order to broaden up our knowledge. Coming from a low-income family and attending a public school did not provide me with the opportunity to explore my options for a future career. Growing up, I had seen my sisters only discussing public research schools such as University of California and California State universities. When I heard that liberal arts existed, I was very enthusiastic to even apply.…

    The idea of the university has varied overtime from the philosophers that preached it, the professors that practiced it, and the culture that embraced it. The ideas of Friedrich Schiller and Immanuel Kant in the 18th century still influence the university today. Friedrich Schiller’s idea of encouraging educational experiences that create a well-rounded person today are seen within any college campus’ union, or central meeting place. Schools spend millions of dollars providing non-academic opportunities for students to “get involved” on campus with one of the hundreds of clubs or sports teams available. However, the application of Schiller’s theories has lost its true intent.…

    The question is posed, “Why are you here?” I understand clearly why this is a question this university asks every student who comes through its doors. I know they ask this because it is unclear in our society, why we need a college education. Many sources say that college degrees are useless and I have to agree with them. That one piece of paper is useless, as are most things in life, if the person who has it does not understand how to use it.…
