General Education

General Education courses are the basic college courses that you are required to complete before you begin studying the subjects that are directly related to your major.  General education classes (also referred to as foundation classes) are the same for everyone studying at John Melvin University.  The main purpose of JM University general education courses is that you gain a well-rounded education and understand the important basics of all subjects. While you will learn specialized knowledge about your major subject, you still will need to know about general topics to navigate through life successfully.
