Reading Program

CWU General Education Program Philosophy

The General Education Program offers undergraduate students a liberal arts education in order to cultivate thoughtful and responsible persons and citizens, prepare them for the world of work, and teach them to pursue knowledge for its own sake. In order to accomplish those broad goals, the General Education Program seeks to promote effective reasoning, broad and deep learning, and the inclination to inquire.

Reading Program Mission Statement
