General education consists of three parts:
Intellectual Community-The Intellectual Community component of general education is designed to introduce students to intellectual and practical skills needed to participate effectively in an intellectual community; promote active participation; provide students with the opportunity to work with and to know others from their cohort well; provide students with the opportunity for close interaction with faculty.
Skills for the Liberal Arts-The Skills component of general education helps students
acquire the intellectual and communication skills needed
for successful advanced work.
Expanding
Perspectives-The Expanding Perspectives
component helps students gain enough understanding of
the principal areas of human endeavor to continue learning
and to have a sense of the limits of their knowledge.
