General Education Program

As part of any degree, all UWGB students complete forty-two general education credits to strengthen academic skills, broaden intellectual horizons, develop and explore new academic interests, reflect on personal values and build a foundation for future course work and lifelong learning. In addition to providing breadth of knowledge, the general education program is designed to enhance students’ ability to solve problems, think critically and communicate effectively. Students take credits in six broad domains: fine arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, ethnic studies and world culture.
