General Education Requirements
Every University of Maine academic program is based upon a strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. The University's goal is to ensure that all of its graduates, regardless of the academic major they pursued, are broadly educated persons who can appreciate the achievements of civilization, understand the tensions within it, and contribute to resolving them. This component of every program is called general education, and it amounts to about one third of every program. The design of general education at the University of Maine is meant to be flexible within the broad goals it seeks to achieve. The University's online Undergraduate Catalog provides a full description of the six broad categories that are the basis for these requirements. General education requirements for a specific course are listed in the "Course Description" section.
For a full list of current course offerings meeting specific general education requirements, go to our online Schedule of Classes, select the "Term" and the "Gen Ed" category you wish to search.
