An integral part of an Arts and Sciences education is obtained through Ohio State’s General Education Curriculum (GEC/GEC-R). General education, as embodied in Arts and Sciences, provides for the development of knowledge, perception, attitudes, and skills that allow a student to move into society with an understanding of its traditions and past, accomplishments and aspirations, relation to and responsibility for the natural world, diversity and plurality, and problems and needs.
The goal is for the individual to attain a sense of self within that society that invites a continuing ability and desire to learn and work with others for future development of the human potential.
