The Lee University General Education Core has been designed to prepare Lee graduates to take their place in a rapidly changing world which is both technologically complex and culturally diverse. Lee has developed a program which is intended to ground students in their faith and help them discover their calling while introducing them to the interrelatedness of the humanities, the complexity of contemporary society, the wonder of the natural world, and the diversity of culture. 

This program requires 6 hours of foreign language at the intermediate level or higher.  The 3-hour math and one of the 3-hour social science requirements are fulfilled through the collateral requirements.
