g e n e r a l e d u c a t i o nGeneral Education CurriculumPhilosophy of the General Education CurriculumThe University of Maine at Presque Isle faculty has developedthe following general education curriculum in accordance withthe goals of the University: (1) to provide students with the competenciesnecessary for academic and professional success; (2) toexpose students to multiple methods of gathering and employingknowledge in order to facilitate long-term learning not limited toa single discipline; (3) to prepare students to think critically andformulate effective responses to a broader range of texts, media,circumstances, and institutions, so that they may become activeand effective participants in communities both local and global.By providing a foundation of information and skills, the GeneralEducation Curriculum (GEC) insures that the graduate notonly has knowledge of a major field but also the flexibility tothink critically and argue persuasively on a range of issues relevantto personal and professional life. Critical and conceptual thinking,sensitivity to the multiplicities of human experience, and acquisitionof technical skills are pervasive throughout theeducational experience at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.The GEC, then, is not simply a collection of courses representingdifferent disciplines but rather a set of courses with common,interrelated aims. The GEC synthesizes disciplines toprovide a total university experience, producing a liberally educatedgraduate, regardless of major.The structural framework of the GEC addresses several concepts;some represent a body of knowledge, some skills, and somean intellectual or ethical perspective.The GEC is divided into two inter-connected sections: Foundationsof Knowledge and Approaches to Learning. In the Foundationssection, students explore concepts of Literacy,Multicultural Experiences, and Quantitative Decision Making.This knowledge is applied in the Approaches categories, in whichCourse Designatorsstudents explore Physical and Life Sciences, the Social Sciences,and Humanities and the Fine Arts.Exemption from GECStudents entering the University of Maine at Presque Isle as degreeseekers who have a completed baccalaureate degree from a regionallyaccredited institution will receive transfer credit for theirprevious degree work and will be exempt from meeting the specificrequirements of the GEC.
