General Education Resources

Below you will find additional materials and resources that will assist you within the General Education curriculum at Appalachian State University. Beginning with the First Year Seminar, the General Education Program accounts for 44 semester hours of a student's degree program.

The General Education Program has four goals: thinking critically and creatively, communicating effectively, making local to global connections, and understanding responsibilities of community membership.

Through the program's interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning, students learn to adapt to new environments, integrate knowledge from diverse sources and continue learning throughout their lives.
