General Education Information for Current Students
The education that students receive while at Meredith is comprised of three components: general education requirements, major requirements and electives.
These three components, combined with many other experiences to be had both on and off campus, develop in students the knowledge, skills, values, and global awareness necessary to pursue careers, to assume leadership roles, to continue their education, and to lead responsible lives of work, citizenship, leisure, learning and service.
In Spring 2009, Meredith’s faculty approved a new General Education Program.
Current students can choose to complete the 2003-09 General Education requirements, or the 2009 General Education requirements.
However, if a student chooses to switch to the new general education requirements, she must change her entire catalogue. This is important, since there may be other changes in the catalogue that would affect you, such as changes in requirements within your major.
If you are considering changing to the new general education program you should consult with your academic advisor about any other changes that might affect your individual program of study.
