Journal of General Education

Aims & Scope

Journal of General Education: A Curricular Commons of the Humanities and Sciences (JGE) is devoted to the ideas and ideals of scholarship that enlighten the understanding of the general education curriculum.

General education reaches across disciplinary and professional concentrations to provide an undergraduate educational commons.

JGE engages academic communities and the broader public about general education experiments and innovation, including but not limited to the assessment, history, philosophy, and theoretical commitments of general education.

In short, JGE is focused not on a scholarship of general interest to those engaged in undergraduate education.

Rather, JGE is a scholarly community interested in general education as a distinctive cornerstone of the arts of liberty that prepare citizens to live engaged, responsible, and meaningful lives.
