Mission Statement and Purposes
The mission of the General Education Department is to impart common knowledge, cultivate critical thinking, and develop values needed by every educated person. Thus, the courses offered by the Department provide a foundation for comprehensive, life-long learning and will enable a Davis College graduate to:
- Read and listen critically with understanding.
- Write and speak clearly and effectively in standard English.
- Apply critical thinking, abstract reasoning skills, and problem solving methods.
- Describe the influences of cultural diversity.
- Locate, gather, process, and use information.
- Identify scientific principles related to responsible living.
General Education courses are an integral part of each associate degree program at Davis College. Each graduate is required to complete IDS110 Forum on Technology and Resources and a minimum of 29 hours of general education courses from the list that follows. To qualify for the Mid-Program Assessment in a student's program area, a student needs to have completed GEN110 and two additional General Education courses.
