The SAGES program (Seminar Approach to General Education and Scholarship) provided a foundation for Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) undergraduates in critical thinking, written and oral communication, the use of information, quantitative reasoning, engagement with ethical issues and diversity, and exposure to experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding human culture and behavior, scientific knowledge, and methods of research. The program was the core curriculum for all of the CWRU schools and colleges that grant undergraduate degrees from 2004-2023.
