General Ed Requirements

General Education is that part of our students’ education that goes beyond learning technical skills and allows students to become well-rounded, higher-functioning citizens of the world. As a college of higher learning, we are committed to the inherent value of general education and know that critical thinking ability, communication skills, information literacy, math and problem-solving skills, and more, are crucial for our graduates’ success in their future technical careers. We also recognize that an associate’s degree or diploma at Mitchell Technical College must mean something more than job skills. Our students must become lifelong learners with the ability to adapt to a changing world and ever-increasing job expectations. To this end, general education learning outcomes that all Mitchell Tech graduates should possess have been identified as follows:
