Symbiosis Centre for Liberal Arts (SCLA): Think…. evolve… express
Located in the heart of historic Pune and affiliated to Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce the Centre for Liberal Arts was established in 2006 for a Diploma and Certificate Programme. It prioritizes a broad interdisciplinary education, which is different from regular vocational or professional colleges. The centre fosters critical thinking, creativity and is a wholesome programme, which takes care of ones intellect, emotions and ethics. The academic opportunities for learning is vast and varied and the education involves a focus study in the disciplines of Humanities, Social Sciences, Language and Literature and Performing Arts with the aim of developing the ability to question and think critically. Teaching students what to think is comparatively easy. Helping them to learn how to think is quite another matter. It is an opportunity to learn and reflect in an environment free from most of the limitations of rigid academic structures. Instructions are more individualized and students are weaned away from the pressure cooker environment of the rat race and focus on the holistic aspects of learning.
The Centre offers a diploma and a certificate programme. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the world by studying diverse subjects, including philosophy, history, literature, and science. This programme can be done along with their graduation. Classes are small with minimum 8 to maximum 15 students in each class. Teaching hours will be of 45 hours.
For a diploma or a certificate programme, a student is required to pass minimum 12th Std. A diploma is awarded after the successful completion of six courses. Of these six courses, the student must choose at least one from each stream (Humanities and Social Sciences, Literature and Language, Sciences and Performing Arts). A diploma programme can be completed in one year or over a period of three years depending on the flexibility of the student.
A certificate programme is awarded after the successful completion of any one course or more. This is ideal for the students who do not have the time to enroll for the entire diploma or are interested in only selected courses. A certificate programme is of three months.
