SDG Targets
General Education Department
The General Education (GED) Program forms the very foundation of the Liberal Arts curriculum at the University. It gives students better exposure to the areas of knowledge other than their major. For example, a student studying Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering (ETE) should take courses like Bangladesh Studies, Bangla Bhasa, World Civilizations, etc as core GED courses. They can also take courses like Best-seller Fiction, International Law, Introduction to Psychology, etc as elective/optional GED courses, which help expand their horizon of knowledge and skills.
