General Education

One of the hallmarks of the undergraduate program is the general education curriculum. The Saint Elizabeth University General Education program seeks to equip and empower students as leaders for the twenty-first century. The General Education curriculum begins with cohort-based seminars that help build community and common knowledge among incoming students. Subsequent courses offer essential knowledge and skills in such areas as communication and media literacy, qualitative and quantitative approaches to information, critical thinking, and holistic self-awareness. All General Education courses come from current majors and minors across the University, allowing students to sample the foundational knowledge in a wide range of fields.
