General
Education Requirements |
|
| |
|
The general education requirements in the College of Arts
and Sciences are designed around the traditional concept of
the well-educated individual. The well-educated individual
thinks critically and communicates effectively, appreciates
science as a rational search for understanding the structure
and behavior of the natural world, understands mathematics
and statistics as valuable tools of science and as intrinsically
important ways of thinking, recognizes the complexities of
social life, and values the humanities and the fine arts.
Goals of general education are an awareness of our inherited
intellectual traditions, the ability to think and communicate
clearly, and a sense of responsibility for the well-being
of society. General education should establish the foundation
for lifelong learning.
The general education curriculum encompasses four major areas:
I. Written
Composition
II. Humanities and Fine Arts
III . Natural Sciences and Mathematics
IV. History, Social and Behavioral Sciences
Students should work with an academic advisor to plan their
course of study in each of these six areas. The courses should
be planned with an emphasis on continuity of information.
