General Education is the broad study of subjects and issues which are central to education for life in our culture. Through the methods, language and concepts of specific subjects in Arts and Literature, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Sciences and Technology students will be encouraged to think for themselves about thieir culture and to know and understand it from the perspective of these subjects. Each course will help to develop the fundamental skills of information processing, thinking, and personal interaction. These courses aim to extend the students' awareness of the world in which they live. General Education at Humber College offers a common educational grounding for all students.
Courses encompass the contexts of self, family, society, work and culture.
Following the common core course, students select the remainder of their courses from at least two of the three discipline categories.
