Liberal Arts Education
- "Liberal education has been recognized as a
source of wisdom, delight, mental power, and civility that makes us fully human.
A liberally educated person is capable of higher and yet higher harmonies of
knowing and doing."
-Michelangelo
REASONS FOR GENERAL EDUCATION
REQUIRED COURSES:
To be successful in your life you need to be a
broadly-educated individual, with proficiency in skills such as effective
written and verbal communication, basic mathematics, social sciences, history,
natural sciences, and understanding the peoples of other cultures. The mandatory SUNY General Education Requirements help you to

these area soon after coming to FIT,
-narrow down
your interests,

your major choices if you are in doubt,
-build solid
foundations for higher-level college work (many SUNY Gen Ed courses are required
Liberal Arts courses for your degree),

to subjects, perhaps once in your lifetime, that may grow into serious hobbies,
