About Our Office

The Office for General Education was created to develop and lead the General Education curriculum for all undergraduate students at Penn State University and to support faculty development in this area. 

The General Education curriculum will enable students to acquire skills, knowledge, and experiences for living in interconnected contexts so they can contribute to making life better for others, themselves, and the world.
