To give you a well-rounded education, four-year baccalaureate degrees at Mount Royal incorporate the 12-course General Education model, known on campus as Gen Ed. These courses will broaden your knowledge base by exposing you to a variety of academic disciplines, and help you develop important academic skills that will serve you well in your chosen program of study. The Department of General Education works closely with Mount Royal's academic faculties, schools and centres to coordinate the implementation of the Gen Ed program and the University Entrance option.
