General Education Program

The General Education Program at Principia College provides students with foundational perspectives and skills. It consists of:

  • Perspectives Courses (distribution requirements)
  • Integrated Writing Pathway
  • First-Year Experience Course

The perspectives and skills emphasized in our General Education Program support Principia’s Operational Mission to “cultivate collaborative creative thinkers and doers who are prepared to seek and find healing solutions” and our Academic Vision that “honors diverse perspectives and develops creative problem solvers who use their academic skills to benefit their communities and the world."
