The American System of Education at AUK responds to the needs of the society and job market by providing a broad, yet focused array of General Education (GE) courses that promote skill building, problem solving, critical thinking as well as an understanding of individual disciplines and how they connect/intersect/overlap in order to address issues of the day. This liberal arts model fosters breadth and depth in curricular design as well as soft skills development for students’ professional development and workforce preparedness.
