With a changing job market, there has also been a shift in the required job skills. The dawn
of the 21st century has seen the demand for a new job skillset in the workforce that was
previously limited to being adept in literacy and numeracy skills with a focus on content and
knowledge only. The general studies courses are designed to provide students with the basic
knowledge necessary to engage in a higher level of critical thinking, discipline, basic scientific
principles, ethics and morality, communication skills, analysis of information, cultural diversity,
and patriotism. The world is complex and interconnected, and to understand the bigger reality,
one needs to get help from disciplines like physics, chemistry, literature, history, and ethics.
These courses cultivate students’ progressive ideas, tolerance, and social responsibility.
In the age of technology, these courses help to act and decide rationally and logically
according to the situation. They also emphasize experimental and activity-based learning.
The mission of the General Studies department is to enable the students to think creatively
and critically, to co-exist and operate ethically in a culturally diverse environment, and to keep
their curiosity for objective truths alive so that they become informed and active citizenry.
