The Modular General Education program takes a modular approach to general education. There are 3 courses, each covering a different area of study:

• Creative Arts (GES125; ICA)
• Western Culture (GES130; CWC)
• Inquiry Writing Seminar (GES160; IQ)

These 3 courses provide students with a liberal arts foundation while preparing them to succeed in college and throughout their lives.

In the Modular track, you have the flexibility to customize your general education experience. Each course is an individual entity, so you have the opportunity to learn from a variety of professors in their areas of expertise, take courses with different groups of peers, and complete the requirements as they best fit into your schedule.

Each course is focused on a single area of study, whether that means exploring Christianity's role in Western Civilization in Christianity and Western Culture, learning to write academic papers and make presentations in Inquiry Seminar, or music, theatre and art, Introduction to the Creative Arts.You get to choose, so you can focus on aspects of modern American life that most interest you.

Sound like your style of learning? This General Education program may be the right choice for you.
