Purpose of General Education
Common, collective knowledge about the world enables us to communicate, to make informed decisions about many aspects of our lives, and to understand and participate fully as informed citizens in local, national, and global matters.
Competency in composition, the humanities, physical and biological sciences, mathematics, and social and behavioral sciences, enables us to better understand ourselves, our neighbors, other cultures and times, and the principles governing the natural world and our universe. In General Education courses, students gain fresh perspectives, methods, and tools for understanding the traditional and newly discovered.
