GENERAL EDUCATION at EKU

EKU's BOARD OF REGENTS APPROVED THE NEW GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR FALL 2012.  A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM CAN BE VIEWED UNDER BOTH THE FACULTY AND STUDENT LINKS (left side of page under "explore.")

The mission of the General Education Program is to promote learning that is central to the intellectual pursuits associated with our educational programs and to enable students to make informed choices about matters of public and personal significance in a diverse, democratic society and global community. Our program helps students to become informed, independent thinkers by developing competencies in communication, quantitative analysis, and critical thinking and by helping them understand and appreciate the diversity of culture, individuals, the natural environment, and the global society.
