The mission of the general education program at Weber State University is to 1) assist undergraduate students in the development of a world view inclusive of knowledge from both the arts and sciences and 2) to develop skills essential to the acquisition, evaluation, synthesis, and communication of information associated with both personal and professional development. Thus, the purpose of the general education component of a student's undergraduate degree program is to assist the student in his/her intellectual, personal, professional, and cultural development. Combined with a concentrated study in a major discipline, the general education component serves to develop the depth and breadth of knowledge and skills that exemplifies the educated citizen. General education involves a set of interrelated educational experiences that assists the student in becoming a self reliant interdependent individual in a global community. The ultimate objective of the undergraduate program at Weber State University is to combine the objectives of general education and discipline-specific education in assisting students to be able to: • Understand the processes of acquiring knowledge and information • Reason logically, critically, and creatively in a variety of contexts • Recognize different ways of thinking, creating, expressing, and communicating through a variety of media • Understand the diversity that exists in value systems and cultures in an interdependent world • Develop a capacity for self assessment and lifelong learning Students who started instruction under the quarter system may elect to use either a quarter or semester catalog for their general education requirements. Refer to pages 375-377 for a list of quarter system general education requirements and semester equivalent courses. Core Requirements 1.
