Elon College s distinctive General Studies curriculum helps students develop civic competencies and habits for leadership in their local and global communities. The four-year, fifty-nine hour General Studies program invites students to commit to their own belief systems and actions as they are confronted with cultures and beliefs other than their own. Through experiential and collaborative learning, General Studies courses and activities emphasize critical and connected thinking, foundational skills (communication, quantitative, and computing), an appreciation for a diversity of ideas and people, and the development of the whole person. The program s overriding goal is leadership development.
