General education (GE) requirements are intended to introduce undergraduates to the richness and diversity of the various academic disciplines. Students are encouraged to explore the different possibilities for further university study. Whether or not students have a specific educational goal, general education requirements are designed to broaden their intellectual perspective and to set them on the path to becoming educated members of society.
