General Education Essay

AUB is committed to offering its students a broad undergraduate liberal arts education that enables them to acquire the uninflected skills and habits of life-long cultivation that they will need to compete successfully in the twenty-first century. The full general Education dispersal requirements are intended to expose students to a range of sharp experiences during their time at AUB.We want to give our students the probability to make choices and to question and test what they believe are their career goals and their intellectual interests. In addition to racecourses in their academic major(ip)s and the opportunity to get rid of minor concentrations in specific handle, all AUB students must view as a minimum of 33-36 credits of general education requirements distributed in the following field 3-6 credits in English Communication Skills through English 204 (English 206 in FEA).3 credits in Arabic Communication Skills (except those formally exempted) 6 credits in Natur al Science. 12 credits in Humanities. 6 credits in complaisant Science. 3 credits in numerical Thought.We believe that a student who has chosen to follow a course of study at AUB leading to a degree in a professional field such as engineering should be candid to the humanities and social sciences. By the same token, a student who plans to major in history should have the opportunity to take science courses and to tap in a lab. While being exposed to various fields of knowledge, we also want our students to have the opportunity to experience different modes of learning (lectures, seminars, labs, and independent research projects). Different modes of analysis are designed to elicit students verbal and interactive skills (seminars), writing and analytic skills (research projects), and hands-on experimental skills (laboratories).These distribution requirements may be met by either needful or elective course courses. Humanities and Social Sciences courses are divided into two list s diagnose I and tendency II within each domain. Students are required to guide their courses as follows Two Humanities courses from Humanity List I. (FAS Students are required to select CVSP courses) Two Humanities courses from either Humanities lists I and II. wholenessness Social Science course from Social Sciences List I. One Social Science course from either Social Sciences lists.1In addition, No more(prenominal) than two courses from the students major may run the Humanities requirement, no more than one course from the students major may live up to the Social Science requirement, and no more than one course from the students major may fulfill the Natural Science requirement. Students who are exempted from Arabic are required to take a Humanity or a Language course instead, unless their aptitude requires otherwise. Students who cannot fulfill the Arabic Communications Skills requirement will be asked to bewilder for an Arabic Placement Test.According to the resul t, they may take ARAB201A in deputy to the Arabic Communications Skills requirement.
