GENERAL EDUCATION
In addition to the University General Education Requirement,
undergraduate students in Columbian College must complete
a further, College-specific general education curriculum—
Perspective, Analysis, Communication, or G-PAC. Together
with the University General Education Requirement, G-PAC
engages students in active intellectual inquiry across the
liberal arts. Students achieve a set of learning outcomes that
enhance their analytical skills, develop their communication
competencies, and invite them to participate as responsible
citizens who are attentive to issues of culture, diversity, and
privilege.
Course work for the University General Education
Requirement is distributed as follows:
Courses taken in fulfillment of the Columbian College general
education curriculum may also be counted toward majors or
minors. Transfer courses taken prior to, but not after, admission
to George Washington University may count toward the
University general education requirement and Columbian
College general education curriculum, if those transfer courses
are equivalent to GW courses that have been approved by the
University and the College.
