General Education Requirements
Responsibility
General education is a fundamental responsibility of American higher education as well as a foundation for student learning. To discharge this responsibility, the University must deliver appropriate resources to the faculty, and faculty must design and transmit to students the means to achieve general education goals. Both the institution and the faculty must satisfy University constituents that these ends are being achieved satisfactorily and in ways consistent with the mission of the University.
Within the context of the general education structure, students are responsible for developing their individual goals and for acting as partners in learning. Students are responsible for meeting with an academic advisor on a regular basis to build a class schedule, to receive counsel on academic progress, and to seek advice on general education courses that best meet their goals.
