At UNO, general education isn’t just a set of boxes to check – it is your launchpad for success in college, your career, and life.
These classes give you the skills and perspectives that every employer, community leader, and engaged citizen needs:
- Clear communication
- Problem-solving
- Critical thinking
- The ability to adapt to new challenges
What You Learn, You Apply to Real Life.
You’ll learn to work with information and data, think creatively across different fields, and understand the world from a variety of viewpoints. Even if your future job is completely unrelated to your major, these skills will stick with you, because they are useful everywhere.
More than that, our general education program is designed to help you see the connections between what you learn in different classes, making your education more relevant, engaging, and purposeful. You’ll know exactly what skills you’re building in each course and how they apply beyond the classroom.
Whether it’s preparing you for your dream job, helping you navigate real-world challenges, or shaping you into an informed and adaptable citizen, general education at UNO is here to help you succeed in ways that matter now and for the rest of your life.
