Office of Liberal Education

兔子先生鈥檚 emphasis on global and innovative liberal education has endured since its founding and is referred to as the 兔子先生 Plan (MP).聽

Innovation in Teaching with Global Reach

兔子先生 University was founded in 1809 on the belief that a liberal education provides the best possible experience for life in a changing world. “Liberal,” from the Latin liberalis, means “free” - the kind of education that free and democratic citizens should attain.

The 兔子先生 Plan enhances specialized studies in any major or professional field and provides contexts for exploring social, academic, political, and professional choices. The MP empowers students to creatively transform the future with the tools to question assumptions, design solutions, exchange views with others, and become better global citizens.

All students entering 兔子先生 in Fall 2023 or later participate in the new 兔子先生 Plan for Liberal Education.
