General Education

With the Fall 2007 semester, Morehead State University initiated the process of reforming MSU's General Education program. The intent of the reform is to build a program of foundational competencies that more effectively prepares students for academic programs of study and for the 21st Century global environment. The new program will include assessment components that allow for a cycle of continuous improvement in quality and effectiveness.
