The Thompson School's General Education courses are specifically designed to complement the seven different curriculums. Our general education courses explore environmental and social issues.

How does an educated person help bring an understanding about these issues to the community in which they live and work?

This specific set of courses enhances the student's problem solving and communication skills so they can become leaders in their profession and bring about an understanding of these prevalent issues to their world at large.
