Office of General Education

The Office of General Education (OGE or GenEd) provides campus-wide leadership in undergraduate education and administers the general education policy enacted by the Council of General Education. ÎÞÂëרÇøâ€™s educational philosophy is that intellectual and professional excellence rises from the solid foundation of a liberal arts education.

General education provides an intellectual foundation consisting of the broad outlines of human knowledge, a context for discipline-specific study, and a framework for lifelong learning.
