通识教育委员会


The NDSU 通识教育 program is aligned with North Dakota University System (NDUS) requirements, which values seamless transfer between ND institutions. 在国防大学 通识教育 Requirements Transfer Agreement (GERTA) was established by the State Board of Higher Education to ease student transfers within the system. NDSU's 通识教育 program is focused on helping students acquire knowledge, 视角, and skills basic to a university education. The program is designed so that students will be able to adapt to and anticipate changes in their professions and in society. Students also will be able to integrate and use the knowledge and 视角 they have gained to live productive, 智力上的, 有意义的生活.
