GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

General education (GE) is more than a checklist of
required courses. It is a program of study that (1)
reveals to students the ways that research scholars in
the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences create and evaluate new knowledge, (2) introduces students to the important ideas and themes of
human cultures, (3) fosters appreciation for the many
perspectives and the diverse voices that may be heard
in a democratic society, and (4) develops the intellectual skills that give students the dexterity they need to
function in a rapidly changing world.
This entails the ability to make critical and logical
assessments of information, both traditional and digital; deliver reasoned and persuasive arguments; and
identify, acquire, and use the knowledge necessary to
solve problems.
FOUNDATIONS OF KNOWLEDGE
General education courses are grouped into three
foundational areas: Foundations of the Arts and
Humanities, Foundations of Society and Culture, and
Foundations of Scientific Inquiry.
Ten courses (48 units minimum) are required. A
course taken to meet the Writing II requirement may
also be applied toward a GE requirement. Preparation
for the major courses may overlap with the foundation
courses.
