The undergraduate programs of the University of Michigan-Dearborn provide students with the opportunity to develop particular skills and abilities; to cultivate an appreciation of aesthetic and ethical values; and to acquire both breadth of knowledge and the depth of understanding gained by concentration in one or more academic disciplines. All undergraduate programs, both general education and concentrations, prepare students, for example, to present ideas effectively; to think critically and to solve problems; to apply their knowledge to both theoretical and practical situations; to deal responsibly with questions of human values; and to demonstrate leadership in their professions and communities.
