General Education

FOUNDATION DOCUMENTS

To gain approval to meet a GE requirement, a course is subjected to a rigorous evaluation by a special faculty council (FGEC). Such approval is not granted lightly, and students should ensure that the courses they select are, in fact, approved for GE credit. Foundation Documents give the rationale for the various requirements as well as the objectives and learning outcomes for the various GE requirements.
