The General Education office currently is located in Holmstedt Hall 220. However, at the the end of August (2008), we will be moving to the second floor mezzanine of Rhoads Hall.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding General Education, please contact our office at 812-237-3940 or Dr. Linda S. Maule at lmaule@indstate.edu.
Indiana State University is committed to providing students with a broad, high quality education that will develop their intellectual abilities while providing them with the skills and knowledge base they will need to successfully navigate the complexities of the Twenty-First Century.
A high quality and robust General Education curriculum is the cornerstone of this goal. While your major prepares you to meet specific professional goals, the General Education curriculum prepares you to be an effective communicator, critical thinker, and an informed decision maker; abilities that are important in your life roles as a professional, consumer, and citizen. The General Education also exposes you to a diverse range of subjects that will help you to develop an appreciation of the fine and performing arts, enrich your life, and cultivate an awareness of historical and contemporary social, economic, and political realities.
