Our GE Program is different.
We offer seminar-based learning in which students form a learning community dedicated to asking probing questions and exploring multiple ways of approaching them; classes are small, usually about 13 students, so that each student can be an integral part of our on-going discussions.

Our Approach is different.
We offer Integrated Subject Matter: A Thematic Approach to Learning. The lower-division General Education program consists of four 12-unit courses taken one per semester. At the end of four semesters, you will have completed all of the GE requirements, except for math. Students also take elective courses, art and physical education, and prerequisites for their future majors in other departments while enrolled in the Hutchins general education program.
