The General Education (G.E.) curriculum is purposefully
complemented by an emphasis on the development of vital
competencies. The ability to write
is reinforced through the requirement of two “writing
intensive” WI courses. Critical
thinking is developed through the explicit
discussion and use of critical thinking skills across
the curriculum. The G.E. Capstone Course
encourages the exploration of connections among various
disciplines of study. Prerequisites for admission to
a capstone course include: 1) completion of a minimum
of 60 hours, with 40 of the 60 in General Education;
2) ENG 303 must be taken prior to or concurrent with
the capstone course. The G.E. program is designed to
teach not only subject matter, but the skills necessary
to succeed in one’s area of expertise (e.g., one’s major
area of study) and to become a lifelong learner. See
academic assessment.
