University of South Carolina - Columbia

Columbia, SC

The University of South Carolina says its Colleges of Arts and Sciences' general education "requirements are designed to provide students with a broad experience in the liberal arts and sciences and opportunities to develop intellectual skills in analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, as well as competence in written and oral communication. General education is not defined by subject matter alone, but rather by an attitude toward the world that emphasizes intelligent functioning as a human being." [Source]
