미국 공립대학의 아너스 교육과 교양교육의 전인성 = Honors Education in Public Universities in the U.S. and the Well-roundedness of Liberal Arts Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to explore the origins and characteristics of honors programs offered by public universities in the United States. By examining how these programs aim to foster well-roundedness, this study tries to find guidance on how Korean universities should develop their honors programs. Traditionally, honors education in the U.S. has pursued well-roundedness rather than specialization in a particular field. Even with the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, well-rounded education through liberal arts education remains relevant. In fact, currently, liberal arts education can be considered even more important because it provides crucial skills such as critical thinking, clear communication skills, creativity, and leadership. Honors education can be considered an effective tool for developing these abilities. This study examines the University of Virginia's Echols Scholars Program, the University of Michigan’s LSA Honors Program, the University of Texas’s Plan II Program, and Rutgers University’s Honors College. Even though these programs show differences in implementation, they all offer a wide variety of courses that use seminars, facilitate close relationships between professor and student, and broaden the students' horizons through study abroad programs and community service. The honors programs in Korean universities tend to focus on specific goals such as employment or studying abroad rather than aiming for a well-rounded education. Moreover, while the programs offer enticing benefits to attract exceptional students, they are inadequate for further developing these students’ abilities. Therefore, honors programs should systematically incorporate liberal arts education in order to encourage well-roundedness.
