Welcome to General Education

 

General Education is the home for UW Tacoma pre-majors. General Education sponsors core curriculum courses. Core classes are taught by exceptional faculty from all academic units at UW Tacoma. The core curriculum introduces students to knowledge across the many interdisciplinary areas offered at UW Tacoma.

General Education academic advisers help students identify and achieve academic goals. Pre-majors learn to select electives and required courses that prepare them for their academic focus. General Education advisers also guide students to campus resources. This program coordinates the lower-division course offerings across campus and assists students in preparing for their majors or concentrations.

Early Alert Referral

The Early Alert Referral Form identifies Core and pre-major students who may be at risk of academic difficulty or failure. The form asks faculty and staff to alert the General Education advisers of any student who is not making satisfactory progress or is exhibiting behaviors that may lead to academic difficulty. Once a student is identified through Early Alert, the academic advisers or other appropriate staff will work with the student to improve his or her academic opportunity for success. Thank you for completing the information below and submitting online.
