General education (GE) is a program of study that:
- Reveals to students the ways that research scholars in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences create and evaluate new knowledge
- Introduces students to the important ideas and themes of human cultures
- Fosters appreciation for the many perspectives and the diverse voices that may be heard in a democratic society
- Develops the intellectual skills that give students the dexterity they need to function in a rapidly changing world.
This entails the ability to make critical and logical assessments of information, both traditional and digital, deliver reasoned and persuasive arguments, and identify, acquire, and use the knowledge necessary to solve problems.
Undergraduate students at Passion University may fulfill these requirements by either taking these courses at other universities or substituting any course for an approved holistic education course.
