The General Education Program (GEP) seeks to develop qualities of global citizenship in four distinct ways. After completing the general education curriculum, students will: •Demonstrate critical thinking, quantitative, and communication skills necessary to succeed in a rapidly changing global society. •Demonstrate broad knowledge of the physical, social, and cultural worlds as well as the methods by which this knowledge is produced. •Recognize that responsible global citizenship involves personal accountability, social equity, and environmental sustainability. •Apply their knowledge and skills, working in interdisciplinary ways to solve problems. The Cultural and Environmental Awareness level of the GEP structure includes the following requirements: U.S. Diversity: - Describe the various dimensions of diversity and marginalization within the United States. - Explain the means by which one or more persistently marginalized groups in the U.S. have negotiated the conditions of their marginalization. Global Awareness: - Identify and explain various components of a culture that is distinct from those found within the United States. - Analyze how cultural similarities and differences are negotiated in ways that help shape the modern world. Environmental Responsibility: - Recognize areas of interaction between human society and the natural environment. - Identify the individual, social, cultural, and ecological factors that influence environmental sustainability. - Evaluate competing scientific claims that inform environmental debates.
