University General Education Curriculum

Philosophy and Goals of General Education

General education is the component of the undergraduate curriculum devoted to those areas of knowledge, methods of inquiry, and ideas that the University and scholarly community believe are common to well?]educated persons. General education provides knowledge and understanding of the world which will serve as the foundation for continued learning. This educational experience will encourage the student to develop the ability to analyze, think critically, formulate reasoned conclusions, and represent views and ideas clearly and cogently. Thus, general education is intended to assist students in the acquisition of skills, knowledge, attitudes, and competencies needed to live productively, grow significantly and serve meaningfully in a modern, multicultural society.
