The high value of an ESF undergraduate education is well known. The accomplishments of graduates from its array of programs are remarkable across a wide range of societal need in relatively specialized areas of science, management and policy, engineering and design. Increasingly, the ability of ESF graduates to deal with new knowledge and societal change and its global context calls for educational preparation that provides students with knowledge, skills and competencies that are useful and important for all educated persons regardless of their profession as well as preparation for advanced courses leading to a specific profession. This preparation, termed general education, is a basic component of preparation during the first two years of college, whether at ESF or a transfer college, that is implemented in a somewhat different manner by each of the Faculties. Learning outcomes and competencies are fundamental to each of the general education requirements developed by each Faculty.
Every program requires at least one course in each of the following areas.
