CORE EDUCATION & MAJORS
General Education core (GEC)
While its major programs are career-oriented studies aimed to prepare students for careers, Asher University realizes that to be successful in their careers and lives, students need strong competency in the general skills of reading, writing, speaking, an interpersonal communication. In addition, Asher University recognizes the necessity for its students to acquire life-long critical thinking skills. In helping students full and enriching loves and make clear and informed decisions as they go through life, the University stresses in its core curriculum an understanding of humanity and recognition of the complexities and interconnections in a rapidly changing global environment. Asher aims to equip the graduates with the confidence, tools, and enthusiasm to continue their education throughout life. Specifically, the core courses foster: a capacity for excellence in reading, writing, speaking, and interpersonal skills, a facility for critical and analytical thinking; a facility for quantitative analysis; a capacity for applying information technologies to problem solving and decision making; a moral and ethical understanding of American culture and institutions; an appreciation of mankind’s cultural and intellectual heritage; and a development of a cross-cultural global perspective.
