General education is intended to impart common knowledge and intellectual concepts to students. From general education a student acquires a breadth of knowledge in the areas and proficiency in skills that are the hallmarks of being college educated. Effective general education helps students gain competence in the exercise of independent intellectual inquiry and also stimulates their examination and understanding of personal, social, and civic values.
