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 ^^^^^^CORE Rl ()l I KIM I MS The core requirements listed below apply to all Bachelor's degrees and A.A./A.S. degrees.
