General education requirements are supposed to be “more than just requirements” — they are an opportunity to discover interests students never knew they had, all while earning credits toward graduation. Pitt’s General Education Reform Task Force formed in the summer of 2023 to help enhance student success and is working on a new curriculum.

From Paleokitchen to Guillermo del Toro, six new classes are approved to meet Dietrich General Education requirements.

Meeting times for classes held on Monday, Wednesday or Friday will likely be modified in the coming weeks to accommodate longer “passing periods,” Pitt officials said Monday.

This past semester marked the implementation of a new set of general education requirements for the Dietrich School, the finale of a year-long effort.
