Coming this fall to an EMU near you, the Second Annual General Education Conference!
Education for participation in the global community.
The General Education Program is the basis for life long learning and participation in a global world. It provides a rich experience, across a wide range of academic activities, and it promotes intellectual curiosity and a love of learning. Like a major, it is a program that students must complete in order to earn a bachelors degree.
The General Education Program at Eastern Michigan University is the core of an undergraduate education. It is general in that it provides students with a comprehensive educational experience and prepares them for participation in a global world. General Education teaches students to think critically and communicate effectively; it provides an introduction to the methodologies and practices of the academic disciplines; and it promotes intellectual curiosity and a love of learning.
The Sophia Project is a brand new program designed for students who are looking to dive beneath the surface of the university. Surrounded by other inquisitive students, and led by TSP mentors, students will explore concepts that will help them navigate through their college careers and beyond. If you're looking for an exciting way to get involved and transform your learning experience, this is definitely the program for you. For more information, visit our website and apply today!
Writing Intensive by Major: Each major will require at least one Writing Intensive course, and you must complete this course to graduate from EMU.
