The Department of General Education (GE) is crucial to MCBS as it acts as the bridge between the Foundation Program offered by the CEAP and the Major Programs offered by the Business, Computer, and the Math Departments. Students pursuing their Bachelor and Associate degrees have to take nearly 30% of their credits through these courses to acquire the University degree as required by the American affiliates of the College. The Department offers breadth of knowledge and skills to the students through interdisciplinary courses in Communication, Humanities, Social and Natural Sciences.

The syllabi of all courses are up to date with new trends in each discipline, new methodologies adopted in teaching and the formative assessments ensure that the learning outcomes of the courses are met with. Essentially, these courses stimulate innovative ideas and develop communicative competence that enrich students by helping them to acquire the necessary skills to be able to adapt and be productive citizens in this constantly evolving and changing world.

These courses reshape their outlook on learning and enable them to look at the world through an transdisciplinary lens. It inculcates in them a spirit of enquiry, helps them to develop the ability to reflect and learn from one’s own experiences, thus enabling them to believe in themselves, to be able to navigate the complexities of the 21st century labour market.
