General Education Degree Requirements

 

All Associate Degrees must have a General Education core. That core draws not from specific occupational or professional objectives but from thought processes of the mathematician, the scientist, the writer, the humanist, and the social scientist. Grappling with universal questions, students learn how the past developed answers and how past answers become foundations for dealing with questions in the present and future.

The General Education core consists of courses that are drawn from the sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities, and other courses which prepare the student for life experiences. They are essential elements in the achievement of identified competencies and are not directed toward specialized study or specific occupational or professional objectives.
