The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) of Judson College, entitled “Project Curiosity,” concentrates on strengthening critical thinking in students seeking a bachelor’s degree by guiding them to become more self-regulated and self-motivated thinkers, catalyzed by their intellectual curiosity to seek more knowledge. Central to the QEP’s design is how intellectual curiosity can intrinsically motivate students to persist and engage in higher-order thinking and sustain concentration for a greater amount of time. The abilities to reason well and analyze and evaluate large amounts of disparate information are vital critical thinking skills that students need to possess in today’s technological and information-driven society.
