Core-21 General Education

Serving students who began their studies at Cal Lutheran prior to Fall 2023, the Core-21 general education requirements provide a strong backbone to your undergraduate degree. 

How does Core-21 help you?

Effectively communicate your ideas

Most employers are looking for great communicators. Writing- and speaking-intensive Core-21 courses will sharpen these skills, making you a stronger candidate as you pursue your career. 

Become a better problem solver

Core-21 complements and enhances the expertise of your major. The future hold big challenges — to solve them, you’ll need to see connections where others don’t. By applying knowledge from outside your major, you’ll be able to approach issues from multiple perspectives.

Future-proof your degree

Acquiring broad knowledge now allows you to be a more adaptive learner down the road. Instead of becoming obsolete, you’ll have the skills and tools you’ll need to stay ahead of the curve.
