Essential Education prepares students to become successful leaders in the technologically integrated world of tomorrow.
What is Essential Education?
Beginning in fall 2025, the Essential Education curriculum will replace Michigan Tech’s current general education requirements in support of the University's Tech Forward Initiatives.
Essential Education is a forward-thinking, student-centered curriculum that allows students to take ownership of their learning and apply it to the complex challenges of a diverse and rapidly changing technological society. After graduating, Huskies will enter the workforce of tomorrow fully prepared for currently unimagined opportunities and career paths.
