General Education Requirements
|
|
LSUE’s General Education Requirements result from a conviction of the faculty that all students need to reason logically, communicate effectively, and effectively engage the world around them.
General education courses are intended to
- cultivate the student’s artistic and scientific knowledge and appreciation;
- teach the student to communicate effectively a broad range of knowledge, beliefs, and emotions;
- teach the student to locate, analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and apply information effectively, including its effective communication to others; and to
- teach the student to apply the knowledge of natural science to natural phenomenon.
LSU Eunice believes that students should acquire a substantial knowledge when completing any associate degree program. All graduates of LSU Eunice degree programs are expected to demonstrate the following general education objectives.
