General Education Programs

The general education program aims to move the student through a series of common experiences which introduce and reinforce university learning outcomes through Foundation, Core, and Exploration courses.

Common Learning Experiences Foundational Skills

Students demonstrate foundational knowledge in basic writing, speech, math, and technology through Foundation and Core courses, which will prepare them to be successful at the university and upon graduation.

Distribution of Courses

Advisors assist students into selecting courses that comprise human knowledge from multiple programs designed to provide the students with a liberal arts education. The general education program promotes quantitative and qualitative literacy, analytical thinking, civic and global learning, exploration of spirituality, communication skills, and integrative and synthetic thinking.

Students have the opportunity to choose their exploration path from several themes, each reinforcing core values of the university.
