General Education - courses and experiences that help students develop theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding related to the arts, communications, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, sciences, and the social studies.
Content Area Studies - courses and experiences provide students opportunities to master the structure, skills, concepts, ideas, values, facts, and methods of inquiry unique to their discipline.
Professional Studies - courses and clinical and field-based experiences ensure that students understand and apply appropriate strategies for meeting individual learning needs in the diverse educational environment.
