Mercer’s mission to educate the whole person. These undergird the General EducationCurricula, which provide the necessary foundation for disciplined study and lifelong learning.General Education is designed to help students cultivate and refine habits of mindthat prepare them to contribute constructively and meaningfully to society. To realize thisgoal, General Education strives to instill in persons broader perspectives while empoweringthem to find fuller and richer citizenship in a world in which different cultures, socialinstitutions, and technologies intersect in multiple and diverse ways.Four Student Outcomes of General EducationA Mercer education emphasizes experiences that foster intellectual growth, culturalunderstanding, civic responsibility, and moral discernment. These four interrelated capacitiesinform the intended outcomes for general education.Intellectual growthIntellectual growth may be interpreted to include complexity of thought, integrative andsynthesizing ability, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis, critical inquiry, criticalreflection, creative expression, integration of life and learning experiences, self understandingand knowledge, and capacity for continued learning and intellectual growth.Cultural awarenessCultural awareness may be interpreted to include global perspective, intercultural perspective,empathy, perspective taking, engaging the other, cultural appreciation.Civic responsibilityCivic responsibility may be interpreted to include active responsible citizenship, the abilityto engage with problems and issues, civility and respect, collaboration and working inteams, and caring.Moral discernmentMoral discernment may be interpreted to include judgment in ambiguous situations, academicintegrity, ethical reasoning, ethical behavior, and the ability to act upon reflectively-heldconvictions.These broad learning outcomes are achieved, not in the abstract, but in and throughthe exercise and development of certain specific practical competencies that are infusedin these four outcomes of general education.• Communicating effectively in writing in a variety of modes and settings• Communicating effectively orally in a variety of modes and settings• Analyzing observed natural phenomena through the use of scientific reasoning• Reasoning quantitatively• Integrating coherently diverse perspectives with knowledge• Acting perceptively and responsibly in light of the education one has receivedAs required by the University’s accrediting body, general education programs atMercer will constitute a minimum of 30 semester hours to include credit hours in humanities/fine arts, social/ behavioral science, and science/mathematics.80 / MERCER UNIVERSITY
