Core Curriculum
The Core Curriculum of the University System of Georgia was established for the purpose of facilitating the educational progress of students as they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University System.
The Core Curriculum of the University System of Georgia establishes the philosophy that "General Education" is the foundation of all degree programs, and, as such, the Core is composed of courses providing a foundation of knowledge and intellectual skills reflecting the University's judgment of what is essential to being an educated person.
Effective Fall 2012, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents Policy 3.3.1 requires students new to the system to complete overlay requirements in U.S. Perspectives, Global Perspectives, and Critical Thinking as part of the core curriculum experience.
