What are general education courses?

[Edit]

Answer

It depends on the college you attend, but general education courses usually include English comp., science, history, government, arts, and assorted electives.

I might add that GenEd courses are usually those courses that all students must take in order to graduate, and are not program specific. Some colleges call it a general cluster, that introduces students to a variety of disciples. This, to ensure students are exposed to areas that facilitate a well rounded education. However, in programs that are more career oriented, the number of GenEd courses may be less in terms of the amount of credits required to complete the general cluster.
