Proposal For Inquiry Topic

The topic I have selected to write my inquiry based upon is Could Universities do away with
the need of general education. I have been asking myself this question since my freshman year
in college unable to completely comprehend the reasoning American Universities follow this
curriculum. Recently I have also been around foreign exchange students that have been able to
come to the United States from Universities from around the world. Whenever I happen to ask
them how is our education different from theirs they usually question us in why are we required
to take general education? Stating that back home they concentrate on their majors classes
specifically. What I find important within this topic is to have an understanding in the election of
the following curriculum. A reader will be interested because they were or are college students at
different path for students could be a possibility. I will begin my research with finding out the
reason why our country selected this path and what other countries follow a similar necessity.
Following this question, I will wonder why do other countries approach their higher education in
a different manner. Are there statistics that allow one to know if our education is benefited from
this requirement.
