General Education Requirements
The General Education Requirements cover six broad areas:
I. Science
II. Human Values and Social Contexts
III. Quantitative Literacy
IV. Demonstrated Writing Competency
V. Ethics
VI. Capstone Experience
The following updated requirements, descriptions and student learning outcomes become effective for the fall 2014
semester. Student learning outcome objectives were added recently to each broad area to meet the accreditation
requirements of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC)
I. Science
Preamble
Students are required to complete two courses in the physical or biological ¬sciences. This may be accomplished in two
ways:
1. By completing two courses with laboratories in the basic or applied sciences;
2. By completing one approved course in the applications of scientific knowledge, plus one course with a laboratory in the
basic or applied sciences.
Definitions and Explanations
1. A laboratory course in the applied physical or biological sciences brings basic knowledge to bear on the solution of
practical problems in engineering, medicine, agriculture, forestry, and other fields for which natural science forms the
foundation. Normally applied science courses require one of the basic natural sciences (biology, physics, chemistry,
geology) as a prerequisite, and carry at least 4 degree credits.
2. A course in the applications of scientific knowledge has the following attributes:
a) it focuses on one or more basic or applied natural sciences
b) it includes significant blending of presently accepted science with its application in common situations;
c) it discusses both the applications and limitations of the relevant scientific methodology;
d) it includes as a major component of the course the observation of natural phenomena coupled with the gathering of data
and its quantitative analysis, and its interpretation in an expository format;
e) its overall focus is on guiding students towards the scientific literacy necessary for modern life rather than on training
future science professionals.
A science course, laboratory or applied, will have the following student outcomes embedded within the course. The
outcomes are based on “The Nature of Science” as published in “Science for All Americans Online” at
http://www.project2061.org/ publications/sfaa/online/chap1.htm (sponsored by American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS)). Retrieved February 2012.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students completing the general education area of Science will be able to:
1. Explain what makes knowledge scientific, i.e., “…things and events in the universe occur in consistent patterns that are
comprehensible through careful, systematic study.” (AAAS)
2. Demonstrate the appreciation that scientific knowledge is subject to change as new observations and interpretations
challenge current understanding.
3. Recognize that valid scientific information is durable, i.e., it is continually affirmed as new observations are made.
4. Perform scientific inquiry including aspects of the scientific method, such as observation, hypothesis, experiment, and
evaluation. Note: Covered in laboratory science courses but not necessarily in applied science courses.
II. Human Values and Social Contexts
Students are required to complete 18 credits in this broad area selected from lists of approved courses to satisfy each of
the five sub-categories below. Courses that satisfy requirements in more than one sub-category may be counted in each
appropriate sub-category.
A. Western Cultural Tradition
B. Social Contexts and Institutions
C. Cultural Diversity or International Perspectives
D. Population and the Environment
E. Artistic and Creative Expression
A. Human Values and Social Contexts: Western Cultural Tradition
Preamble
The Western Cultural Tradition involves the historical and/or philosophical examination of the basis of Western culture.
Subject areas may include, but are not limited to, artistic, economic, education, historical, legal, linguistic, literary,
performative, philosophical, political, rhetorical, scientific, and social dimensions of the Western cultural tradition and its
impact.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students completing the General education area of the Western Cultural Tradition will be able to:
1. Examine the sources, transmission, development and outcomes among ideas, institution, artifacts, and values within the
traditions of the West.
2. Recognize and explore the complexity and variety among ideas, traditions, institutions, archaeological and historical
texts and artifacts and values that inform the cultural traditions of the West.
3. Analyze and think critically about how societies are or have been defined by such cultural traditions.
B. Human Values and Social Contexts: Social Contexts and Institutions
Preamble
Courses included in the Social Contexts and Institutions category focus upon the ways in which social contexts shape and
limit human institutions (defined broadly to include customs and relationships as well as organizations). The specific
focus may be upon ways in which social contacts and institutions interact with human values, the role of institutions in
expressing cultural values, or the social and ethical dimensions attendant upon particular academic disciplines.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students completing the general education area of Social Context and Institutions will be able to:
1. Identify, describe and analyze social contexts and human institutions
2. Recognize and critically evaluate the interaction between social contexts and human institutions
C. Human Values and Social Contexts: Cultural Diversity or International Perspectives
Preamble
A course included in the Cultural Diversity or International Perspectives category satisfies one or more of the following
criteria: (a) it places primary emphasis on the experiences, perspectives, and cultural work of one or more groups who are

on population growth and environmental quality,
3. Understand the concepts and principles necessary to evaluate contemporary issues of population growth, natural
resource conservation, and environmental protection,
4. Interpret diverse types of information about environmental issues, to develop their own perspectives on these issues,
and to communicate these perspectives effectively,
5. Understand and describe technical and/or scientific approaches for addressing problems that arise in the relationship
between human population and the environment.
E. Human Values and Social Contexts: Artistic and Creative Expression
Preamble
Courses included in the Artistic and Creative Expression category engage the student in creative thinking and processes.
A primary objective is to develop skills and intellectual tools required to make artistic and creative decisions, and to
participate in, evaluate, or appreciate artistic and creative forms of expression.

Students completing the general education area of Artistic and Creative Expression will be able to:
1. Participate in, identify or evaluate artistic and creative forms of expression.
2. Develop skills and/or intellectual tools central to the artistic and creative process or its critique.
III. Quantitative Literacy
Preamble
Students are required to complete at least six credit hours in Quantitative Literacy.
Quantitative literacy is the ability to formulate, evaluate, and communicate conclusions and inferences from quantitative
information. Students will develop their quantitative literacy during their undergraduate experience through courses
targeted at quantitative literacy and through frequent exposure to quantitative problems and analyses both inside and
outside their major.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of general education study in quantitative literacy, students will understand the role that mathematics
and quantitative thinking plays in solving and communicating information about real world problems and relationships.
Students will be able to:
1. Translate problems from everyday spoken and written language to appropriate quantitative questions.
2. Interpret quantitative information from formulas, graphs, tables, schematics, simulations, and visualizations, and draw
inferences from that information.
3. Solve problems using arithmetical, algebraic, geometrical, statistical, or computational methods.
4. Analyze answers to quantitative problems in order to determine reasonableness. Suggest alternative approaches if
necessary.
5. Represent quantitative information symbolically, visually, and numerically.
6. Present quantitative results in context using everyday spoken and written language as well as using formulas, graphs,
tables, schematics, simulations, and visualizations.
Instructors of courses offering General Education credit in the area of Quantitative Literacy will indicate how the Student
Learning Outcomes will be achieved on their syllabi. Assessment practices are, for the most part, embedded within the
courses awarding general education credit and are appropriate to the content and goals of each course and program.
IV. Demonstrated Writing Competency
Preamble
Students are required to write throughout their academic careers and must demonstrate competency both at the
introductory level and within their majors. To fulfill this requirement, students must:
1. Complete ENG 101, College Composition with a grade of C or better, or earn transfer credit by challenging the course
successfully through presentation of a portfolio of past work demonstrating mastery of course outcomes.
2. Complete at least two writing-intensive courses, at least one of which must be within the academic major.
Definitions and Explanations
In a writing-intensive course:
1. students must have an opportunity to revise their writing in response to feedback from the instructor;
2. a substantial portion of the student's final grade must be based upon the quality of the written work, and
3. course enrollment should normally be limited to 25 students or less.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students completing the general education area of Demonstrated Writing Competency will be able to:
1. Critique and revise their writing.
2. Achieve the intended purpose in the writing task, with awareness of audience.
3. Identify and fully develop ideas to a specific thesis.
4. Organize ideas effectively.
5. Adhere to proper mechanics and style.
6. Achieve clarity of expression in language, argument, rhetorical form, and idea.
V. Ethics
Preamble
Students are required to take a course or a series of courses placing substantial emphasis on discussion of ethical issues.
The ethics requirement can be satisfied by
1. a stand-alone course in which ethics constitutes a substantial focus of the course, or
2. a well defined series of courses required in a particular curriculum, wherein the treatment of ethics in any one course
may be somewhat less, but which taken together sum to a substantial emphasis on ethics. Courses that satisfy the ethics
requirement must have a theoretical component and have one or more of the following attributes:
a) they teach methods of ethical analysis
b) they deal intensively with ethical issues associated with a particular discipline or profession;
c) they engage the student in the study of ethical questions arising through the interpretation of literature or history, or
social scientific analysis designed to include ethical evaluation. In order for a course to be approved under this criterion,
the treatment of ethics must be substantial rather than merely incidental.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students completing the general education area of Ethics will be able to do one or more of the following:
1. Understand and describe main issues and concepts relevant to ethical theory.
2. Demonstrate their ability to work effectively with ethical issues and theories through their analysis and evaluation of
the theoretical, literary, historical or artistic texts through which fundamental ethical ideas and problems are presented.
3. Critically evaluate the ethical ideas they are studying and apply these ideas to situations of everyday life.
VI. Capstone Experience
Preamble
Every program must include an approved capstone experience. The goal is to draw together the various threads of the
undergraduate program that bear directly upon the academic major in an experience that typifies the work of professionals
within the discipline. Normally, the Capstone would conclude at the end of the student's senior year. Students should
consult closely with their academic advisor to explore the range of options available for meeting this requirement.
The capstone experience should have the following attributes:
1. the experience must be of significant depth and require innovation, creativity, reflection and synthesis of prior learning;
2. the experience must result in a thesis, report, presentation, or performance that demonstrates mastery of the subject
matter
3. faculty/student interaction should be an integral part of the experience.
4. minimum student effort in the capstone should reflect the equivalent of three credits of work
