The purpose of general education at the University of Rhode Island is to lay a foundation for the lifelong enrichment of the human experience and for a thoughtful and active engagement with the world around us. This foundation is built on recognition of the complex nature of the natural and human worlds. The objective of general education is to introduce students to the fundamental dimensions of this complexity and to build an appreciation of different ways of understanding it and different cultural responses to it.
Specifically, courses in the seven (7) core areas of General Education address:
KNOWLEDGE
* Artistic and literary expression and interpretation (Fine Arts/Literature)
*Wisdom and traditions of the past and present in a global setting (Letters)
*Interrelationships of the natural world (Natural Sciences)
*Human behavior in social, economic, cultural, and political contexts (Social Sciences)
SKILLS
*Mathematical and quantitative skills and their applications (Mathematical/Quantitative Reasoning)
*Writing and speaking in English (English Communication)
*Communicating across cultures (Foreign Language/Cross-cultural Competence)
In addition, because particular skills are essential to a thoughtful engagement with the world, each course in General Education must incorporate opportunities to practice three (3) or more of the following:
*Reading complex texts
*Writing effectively
* Speaking effectively
*Examining human differences
*Using quantitative data
*Using qualitative data
*Using information technology
*Engaging in artistic activity
General Education is only a portion of any undergraduate degree program. Major and minor requirements along with electives contribute significantly to students' education. All programs should include in their curricula opportunities for students to develop further the skills that this general education program addresses. As a consequence of the interaction between General Education and major programs, the University of Rhode Island expects that all programs will lead students toward:
*the ability to think critically in order to solve problems and question the nature and sources of authority
*the ability to use the methods and materials characteristic of each knowledge area with an understanding of the interrelationship among and the interconnectedness of the core areas
*a commitment to intellectual curiosity and lifelong learning
*an openness to new ideas with the social skills necessary for both teamwork and leadership
*the ability to think independently and be self-directed; to make informed choices and take initiative
Fine Arts & Literature: courses that promote aesthetic interpretation and an appreciation of its role in human experience; courses related to historical and critical study of the arts and literature as well as creative activity
English Communication: courses that improve written and oral communication skills
Foreign Language/Cross-cultural Competence: courses that promote understanding of one's own cultural perspective in a multicultural world and develop the skills necessary to work, live, and interact with persons from different backgrounds, including developing bilingual skills, the comparative study of cultures, the study of cross-cultural communication, and/or study/internships abroad
Letters: courses that examine human values, thought and culture in social,historical, and philosophical contexts through the use of primary sources and critical expositions.
Mathematical & Quantitative Reasoning: courses that advance skills in, understanding of, and appreciation for mathematics and the disciplines that have grown from mathematics.
Natural Sciences: courses that employ scientific methods to examine the physical nature of the world, the biological dimension of human life, and the nature of the environment and its various life forms
Social Sciences: courses related to the study of human development and behavior and varying social, economic, cultural, and political solutions to societal and global problems
These skills should be addressed in a substantial part of the coursework and in the evaluation of students' performance.
Read Complex Texts: Course requires students to "read," evaluate, and interpret primary sources, critical commentaries, or works of art.
Write Effectively: Course requires written assignments designed to allow students to practice and improve writing skills with regular feedback from the instructor such as by submitting drafts and revisions, by writing a series of comparable papers, or by writing long assignments in shorter units.
Speak Effectively: Course requires oral presentations designed to allow students to practice and improve speaking skills with instructor and/or group feedback.
Examine Human Differences: Course requires assignments which examine the role of difference within and across national boundaries. Appropriate examples of "difference" would include but not be limited to race, religion, sexual orientation, language, culture, and gender.
Use of Quantitative Data: Course requires assignments which involve the analysis, interpretation, and/or use of quantitative data to test a hypothesis, build a theory, or illustrate and describe patterns.
Use of Qualitative Data: Course requires assignments which involve the analysis, interpretation, and/or use of qualitative data to test a hypothesis, build a theory, or illustrate and describe patterns.
Use of Information Technology: Course requires assignments which involve the use of information technology such as web-based research (access to and evaluation of information), participation in class-related internet conferencing, or introduction to and use of computer programs.
Engage in Artistic Activity: Course requires assignments which involve the creative process in the practice of fine arts skills and aesthetic appreciation with instructor and /or group feedback.
Two of the courses taken as part of a student's general education program must be selected from courses designated by a "D." Courses approved for the "D" designation meet the requirements for the examining human differences skill area (all sections of that "D" course must include the examining human differences skill).
This overlay does not increase the number of credits required in the general education program.
