MISSION STATEMENT: The General Studies Program promotes student success by providing undergraduates with the knowledge and skills needed to become successful graduates, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. While all programs have their own objectives, the General Studies Program represents the core foundation upon which all academic programs and the following Student Development Outcomes are built. (General Studies requirements for students who have already earned a Bachelor Degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education are considered to be completed.)

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: Communication: Upon completion of the General Studies Program at WLU, students will communicate with clarity, coherence, and persuasiveness.

Analysis: Upon completion of the General Studies program at WLU, students will apply appropriate concepts and methods to analyze, evaluate, and interpret information or texts, implementing suitable strategies to solve problems or relate analyses as appropriate. Self and Cultural Awareness: Upon completion of the General Studies program at WLU, students will reflect objectively on the human condition through investigation, appreciation, and evaluation of the products, perceptions, expressions, and interrelationships of various cultures.

Note: Be sure to check for exceptions to the following course requirements in the section of the catalog

that refers to your major. Some majors prefer/require students take certain courses to fulfill

their general studies requirements.
