General education requirements are designed to insure that students are exposed to a wide range of knowledge. They consist of a number of courses which must be completed in order for students to earn a degree.
These courses are grouped into categories and are spread across a variety of disciplines. There are a number of courses in each general education category, so that students may pick which courses best suit their interests.
The best place to find a quick overview of General Education requirements is on the All Degree Worksheet on the last two pages of the College Catalog. This is an extremely useful checklist which enables students to keep track of which requirements they need to meet.
Furthermore, the two pages just before the All Degree Worksheets have a list of which courses meet general education requirements.
