Philosophy and Purpose
The general education curriculum serves as the cornerstone of holistic development, nurturing intellectual curiosity and fostering the creation of essential skills crucial for academic, career, and personal success. At UAGC, we believe in the transformative power of education to enrich lives and catalyze growth. Our general education curriculum is composed of learning experiences that resonate deeply with students' lived experiences. By integrating practical applications and focusing on the development of academic and essential employability competencies, we bridge the gap between theory and practice, empowering students to apply knowledge in meaningful ways.
Central to our educational philosophy is a commitment to access, quality, and excellence. We recognize the unique challenges and experiences of our student body and strive to create a learning environment that is engaging, dynamic, and supportive. Through responsive and effective teaching, high-quality curriculum design, and proactive support services, we ensure that all students have access to educational opportunities and resources, inspiring them to thrive and succeed.
Our philosophy of general education is rooted in the belief that education is not merely a means to an end but a transformative journey that empowers individuals to realize their full potential and effect positive change in the world. Through a blend of rigorous academic inquiry, practical application, and unwavering commitment to success, we prepare our students for a lifetime of engaged citizenship, empowered decision-making, and continuous learning.
