Program Philosophy

The General Education English program is committed to Program Coherence, Faculty Autonomy, and Student Engagement. The philosophy is undergirded by the belief that faculty and students do their best work with support and freedom. Faculty are encouraged to draw on individual strengths in the classroom while simultaneously meeting course objectives, using high impact practices, and drawing on innovative pedagogies. Students are challenged to take risks and build essential knowledge and skills in the MTSU True Blue Core areas of Written Communication, Information Literacy, and Intercultural Understanding.
