What is general education for?

Opening Question

Every year, new high school graduates begin the transition to college, where they select a major and begin dreaming of their future vocation. But to get there, they have to dedicate a big chunk of their undergraduate degrees to this thing called “general education.” What’s that all about? Why is it such a large part of the undergrad education? Join Dr. Paul Spears, Dr. Fred Sanders, and Ellie Martin in our first episode of Opening Question, the podcast of the Torrey Honors College at Biola University.

----------
Torrey Honors College is the undergraduate honors program at Biola University. We bring together students with different backgrounds from all over the world in pursuit of a common goal.

At Torrey Honors, students read deeply from some of the best books ever written. They gather with close friends to spend hundreds of hours in discussion, searching out answers to big questions together — all while guided by a faculty mentor. And when they graduate, students enter a community dedicated to lifelong learning and pursuing Christ both personally and vocationally.
