General Education

General Education Requirements
The mission of general education is to promote learning that is central to the intellectual pursuits associated with our educational programs and to enable students to make informed choices about matters of public and personal significance in a democratic society and global community.

The general education program helps students to become informed, independent thinkers by developing competencies in communication, quantitative analysis, and critical thinking by helping them understand and appreciate culture, individuals, the natural environment, and the global society. Courses that are used to satisfy the program’s Major Requirements cannot also be used to satisfy General Education requirements.

Workshops

Career Services serves as a resource within the campus community (i.e., faculty, staff, student organizations) by providing workshops related to career readiness and best practices within today’s evolving workplace. These resources promote the Council for Postsecondary Education’s (CPE) Graduate Profile Ten Essential Skills and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Eight Core Readiness Competencies.

Mock Interviews
