The central purpose of the undergraduate programs is to prepare students
in liberal education which serves as preparation for a thoughtful life and
service to an organization and to the community. CMU undergraduate programs
educate persons about basic forces, ideas, and values which shape the world,
and about the structure of organized human knowledge. As a student, courses
will include theories and applications in problem solving, reasoning,
writing, speaking, and critical thinking.
The academic environment is continuously monitored and assessed to ensure
the high quality of the product provided to the student. A student may
choose one of thirteen degree options offered in a variety of formats and
locations. Each degree consists of general education requirements, a major,
and a concentration. Minor options can be added to some degrees.
All undergraduate degree programs require the student to complete a number
of semester hours of
general
education requirements. General education courses build a strong
conceptual foundation in the humanity, natural science, and social science
fields. General education begins the journey of lifelong learning. Before
you begin to build your course, read your course’s description to find out
if it is part of the general education block as either a
Competency
Requirement course or as a
University
Program course. These courses will have
specific requirements for student learning that you will need to build
in to your course.
