Why do I have to take General Education courses?
The General Education Core of Helena College provides students with the broad foundation of knowledge essential for success at the associate and baccalaureate levels.
All students are prepared for independent, abstract, and critical thinking; responding creatively to problems; applying quantitative and mathematical knowledge; finding information; and communicating both orally and in written forms. This is done to engender life-long learning skills, a foundation of knowledge in a variety of disciplines, and a broadened perspective on our interdependent, changing global community.
