Programs
Core Courses
As a fundamental component of all academic programs, General Education is the foundation supporting student acquisition of skills in communication, analysis, mathematical reasoning, and synthesis. General Education provides students with transferrable skills that prepare them to gain knowledge, acquire new competencies, and broaden their perspectives so that they may better adapt to the needs of a changing society.
The learning experiences and assessments provided by our academic programs are built on the General Education goals, which are reflected in the College’s core requirements. All students are required to take these core courses, in addition to their major's course requirements.
