General Education

The foundation for General Education coursework is based on a Judeo-Christian philosophy. General education courses are required in Oral and Written Communication (GCOM), Math, Statistics and Logic (GMSL), Social and Behavioral Sciences (GSBS), Arts, Humanities, Culture and Diversity (includes Religious Studies) (GAHD & GAHR), and Natural Sciences, Technology and Innovation (GNST).

The purpose of general education coursework is to provide students with a broad base of knowledge that is relevant to all educated persons. Participation in this coursework empowers students to develop intellect, examine values in ethical decision making, think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, embrace cultural diversity, pursue lifelong learning, and to serve in the global community.

The Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) requires that all degree-seeking students complete credits in the following general education areas of study. The College determines the number of hours required for completion of the areas as follows:
