Building the Foundation for Lifelong Learning
Why is general education important?
Creating a better world.
Your education at OSU will prepare you for so much more than just your professional life. Although it is important to us that you graduate with all of the tools to be successful in your desired field, what is equally important to us is the foundation laid for lifelong learning through general education courses.
OSU’s mission includes improving the lives of people in Oklahoma, our nation and the world and providing OSU graduates with the tools to make a difference in the world. One of the most important ways to reach these goals is to provide students with the resources and education to be lifelong learners.
Key Benefits of Lifelong Learning
Understanding the world around us.
Lifelong learning allows us to better understand the world around us, can provide us with more and better opportunities and even improve quality of life. Lifelong learning can even boost confidence and self-esteem and help us achieve a more satisfying personal life. The general education courses students will take at OSU will provide the skills and tools needed to become a lifelong learner.
