General Education Philosophy

The purpose of General Education at AIU is to provide students with a broad range of courses designed to integrate general knowledge with their major field of study. To this end, students are provided with a curricular environment aimed at broadening and deepening intellectual awareness and perspective, historical understanding, technological and communicative proficiency, information acquisition and analysis, and multi-cultural and global awareness. Students are enabled to grow personally and professionally so that they are equipped with the skills necessary to meet the challenges they will face as global citizens in an ever-changing workplace.
