General Education Requirements and Specialty Programs
Fort Lewis College’s commitment to the liberal arts is embodied in its innovative general education program and in its majors in the arts, sciences, humanities, and social sciences. The traditional liberal arts disciplines - humanities, arts, mathematics, history, social sciences, and physical and life sciences - are relevant for all students, regardless of major or vocational aspiration. However, liberal arts education is not confined to any particular field of study or discipline.
Liberal in liberal arts means free, freedom from ignorance. A liberal arts education is intended to impart the capacities and values required for responsible citizenship in a free and democratic society. These include breadth of knowledge, the ability to analyze and weigh evidence, open-mindedness and tolerance of difference, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and communication, in addition to a commitment to continued learning.
