What is General Education* and when do I take it?
The General Education program* at Indiana State University is designed to enhance students' English composition, oral communication, mathematic, information technology and foreign language skills.
General Education* has been developed to improve students' physical fitness for life as well as their capacities for independent thinking, critical analysis, reasoned inquiry, writing, speaking, reading, and listening.
General Education* is also intended to enhance students' capacities for making informed judgments and responsible choices and to help prepare them to meet the challenges of their post-collegiate lives.
General Education courses* are to be taken throughout the nursing curriculum. Some are required to be taken during a certain timeframe or prior to certain courses. Specific information is available online or from one's academic advisor.
*Revisions to the General Education Program are in
process. The new Foundational Studies Program will be in effect
for those students entering ISU beginning Fall 2010.
