General Education provides students with a broad, common foundation of study upon which to build an undergraduate education. The program develops students’ capacity to communicate their ability to critically think and solve problems, to comprehend and contribute to diverse and global perspectives, to be a steward of life-long learning, and to advance public opportunity.
No matter what your major, you will probably agree that there are certain skills you will need in order to be a competent and successful professional.
Utilizing the twelve goals of the General Education Program, four shared learning outcomes were determined in an attempt to capture the more than 40 distinct skills or abilities outlined for students as a part of the goals of the General Education curriculum.
