From the sciences to the humanities, General Education at Penn State is the keystone for preparing students to live and work in our diverse global society.
Develop and improve upon the skills that enable you to achieve your goals.
Expand your perspective and study beyond what you previously imagined.
Identify connections and ideas for a meaningful tomorrow.
General Education isn't just some requirement. Think of it as an opportunity to take classes that you didn't have the option to take in high school.
Students acquire skills, knowledge, and experiences for living in interconnected contexts; making life better for themselves, others, and the larger world.
The boss can Google. Students must do more to build successful careers, finding connections in a complex world and sharing those insights effectively. General Education builds the background and skills to make a real difference.
