The mission of the general education program is consistent with the mission of the college. Our mission is to provide a unique signature curriculum, a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences, and a focus on academic skills to all Meredith students.

Through their active participation in this curriculum Meredith College women will be able to inquire critically, solve problems creatively, make decisions ethically, and communicate effectively. As educated women Meredith graduates will understand that they have the moral responsibility to use their skills as engaged citizens. They will know that global problems can be addressed through local action. Understanding knowledge as complex and ever changing, they will have the courage and curiosity to be adaptable, lifelong learners.

In Spring 2009, Meredith’s faculty approved new learning outcomes for GenEd and a new curriculum. For information on how to advise students, click on the appropriate General Education program below:
