Founding and Academic Philosophy

The college was founded as Fifth College in 1988 in the final declining years of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and like UCSD's other colleges, reflects the time and era in which it was built. Year 1988 ( MCMLXXXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link displays 1988 Gregorian calendar) Cold War is the state of conflict tension and competition that existed between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR and their respective allies from the The United States of America —commonly referred to as the The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR was a constitutionally Socialist state that existed in Eurasia from 1922 to 1991 In the case of Roosevelt, the college was designed to move away from the strict "us-versus-them" worldview that characterized much of twentieth century political thought in hopes of creating a concept of global community and international cooperation. The college's motto is "Developing World Citizens Through Scholarship, Leadership, and Service," and it seeks to make that concept a reality by encouraging its students to think globally and interact on an international rather than local level.

Academic Requirements

Like all six colleges, ERC has a set list of academic requirements, often known as General Education Requirements, or GE's. ERC's educational requirements stress international learning and global interaction, and include proficiency in a foreign language, non-western art, as well as its own writing course--Making of the Modern World (MMW).

MMW is a core writing course that seeks to combine various disciplines including history, religious studies, philosophy, sociology, and visual arts into a six-quarter (two year) writing course that offers a survey of the sum total of world history--not just from a eurocentric perspective, but from a more international view, including developments in China, India, Africa, and the Americas. An academic discipline or field of study is a branch of Knowledge which is taught or Researched at the college or university level History is the study of the past particularly the written record Those who study history as a Profession are called Historians Etymology A religion is a set of Tenets and practices often centered upon specific Supernatural and moral claims about Reality, the Cosmos Philosophy is the study of general problems concerning matters such as existence knowledge truth beauty justice validity mind and language Sociology (from Latin: socius "companion" and the suffix -ology "the study of" from Greek λόγος lógos "knowledge" The visual arts are art forms that focus on the creation of works which are primarily Visual in nature such as Painting, Photography World History is a field of historical study that emerged as a distinct academic field in the 1980s.
