GENERAL EDUCATION
The General Education programme at Cipriani College of Labour and Co-operative Studies seeks to provide students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitude to live fully and participate effectively in a democratic society and a global community. The goal of the programme is to produce a student who can communicate effectively, analyze critically and understand his/her society and culture. Such a student, it is felt, will better be able to use his/her sources of learning to make decisions and take action in daily practical situations. To accomplish the general education goals, all students receiving an Associate Degree, must satisfy a set of general education requirements in addition to the requirements of their specific programme.
