UNIVERSITY
STUDIES |
University Studies is an essential element in the educational process that results
in professional success, personal growth, and responsible citizenship. In this process,
students have the opportunity to acquire knowledge, learn reasoning and communication
skills, examine their goals, values, and potentialities, and develop an enduring commitment
to learning through both formal and informal educational experiences. The University Studies program at A&M-Commerce embodies the characteristics and purposes of the University. With both professional and liberal arts programs, A&MCommerce recognizes general education as a necessary component in the development of all students. The general education which takes place in the University Studies program is therefore not only compatible with specialization but is the context in which specialization occurs. |
