The general education program consists of foundation courses and distribution courses. The foundation courses provide core skills and are fulfilled by a rather narrow set of required courses. The distribution courses are intended to provide students with a broader knowledge and skill base in preparation for a lifetime of career flexibility and adaptation. The distribution courses are selected by the student, drawing from a significant range of options. To fulfill the distribution requirement students will need to take 24 credit hours of coursework; at least 8 credit hours from each of 3 academic divisions. Among the 24 credits of distributions, students will take at least 1 Human Diversity [D] course, one Critical Thinking [C] course, and one Interdisciplinary [I] course. The minimum number of hours required to fulfil the college’s general education requirement is 39 credits.
