1. What are general education (GE) requirements?

Students are required to take courses from distinct areas established by 69成人网to ensure a well-rounded education not just in their major but in other subjects that will contribute to their personal and professional success. The general education areas are broken up into Foundations (Math/English), Biblical & Theological Core, Civic World, Creative World, Cultural World, Natural World, Personal World, Social World.

2. Will I need to take courses in each general education (GE) requirement?

Not necessarily. Therefore, it is important that you use your major planning guide and/or degree guide.

Your major planning guide under the 鈥淕eneral Education鈥� tab will point out any areas met by your major as well.
