Cox College seeks to provide an environment that fosters personal and professional growth and prepares individuals for the rapidly changing health care environment. The faculty believes that the integration of general education knowledge with the professional discipline is essential for clinical practice and life-long learning.
A general education provides opportunities for students to obtain and develop knowledge, skills, attitudes and interests that enhance and maximize growth and potential to become productive members of society.
A student who acquires a general education will develop cognitive capabilities and understandings that are foundational to continued lifelong learning. Specifically, general education courses improve the ability to:
|
read with comprehension |
|
communicate effectively in written and oral forms |
|
think critically, using analytical and logical reasoning |
|
utilize scientific inquiry |
 |
demonstrate intellectual awareness of societal functions and responsibilities |
|
consider philosophical and/or ethical perspectives; and |
|
value learning as a lifelong process. |
