Built on the foundation of the liberal arts, our\u00a0signature\u00a0general education curriculum prepares students with the knowledge, skills, and values to be lifelong critical thinkers, informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, and responsible leaders, an intentional nod to the university\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-44715-2-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-44715-2-0-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><center><p><a type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-default btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/registrar\/gened\/\">Learn more about general education requirements<\/a><\/p><\/center><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-44715-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"parallax-text-block panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-44715-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-44715-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-44715-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div id=\"pl-w682275fa54241\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w682275fa54241-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-w682275fa54241-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w682275fa54241-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-w682275fa54241-0-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Why is General Education Important?<\/h2>\n<p>General education empowers students to become<strong>\u00a0responsible leaders<\/strong>\u00a0by encouraging career exploration and adaptability. It builds\u00a0<strong>critical thinkers<\/strong>\u00a0by expanding their toolkit with diverse skills, from communication to problem-solving. Students grow into\u00a0<strong>informed citizens<\/strong>\u00a0by deepening their understanding of the world and its interconnected challenges. Through hands-on learning, they apply knowledge beyond the classroom as\u00a0<strong>thoughtful stewards<\/strong>\u00a0of their communities. Most importantly, general education provides the\u00a0breadth of knowledge\u00a0that complements specialized majors\u2014because solving complex issues requires both depth\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0perspective.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-44715-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-44715-3-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"7\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/05\/CareerDay_260.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-44744  attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Two female students looking at notecards in a classroom.\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/05\/CareerDay_260.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/05\/CareerDay_260-273x300.jpg 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-44715-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"parallax-bg-image-section firstyear-feature panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-44715-4\" ><div id=\"pgc-44715-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"parallax-bg-text-content panel-cell-style panel-cell-style-for-44715-4-0\" ><div id=\"panel-44715-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"8\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-44715-4-0-0\" ><div id=\"pl-w68227257e6110\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w68227257e6110-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-w68227257e6110-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w68227257e6110-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w68227257e6110-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_widget_sp_image widget_sp_image panel-first-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"560\" alt=\"Aaron &#039;24\" class=\"attachment-full\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/05\/Student2024_A.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/05\/Student2024_A-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/05\/Student2024_A-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/05\/Student2024_A-768x358.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/05\/Student2024_A.jpg\" \/><\/div><div id=\"panel-w68227257e6110-0-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-w68227257e6110-0-1-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Aaron `24<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Augsburg offers so many classes that allow students to explore their passions\u2014and the professors go above and beyond to help you succeed.
