Ashesi will have a core curriculum spanning the first three semesters, providing students with a liberal arts foundation before focusing on either business administration or computer science. Several professors at Swarthmore College have agreed to help us design this core curriculum, taking into account the types of academic programs students will be undertaking after the core, and the African context in which the classes will be taught. This council is comprised of professors of dance, engineering, history and political science and feature lively discussions and creative ideas about how to create the ideal core program within given constraints. We believe Ashesi students will enjoy a rich academic experience through the core curriculum that is currently being designed.
