General education learning outcomes (GELOs) are overarching skills that are taught in the general education core requirements at LBHC. LBHC’s general education requirements include Crow language (3-6 credits), Crow studies (3 credits), quantitative reasoning (3-4 credits), college writing (3 credits), college seminar (3 credits), skills for success (1 credit), natural science (7-8 credits), diversity & social science (3 credits), and arts and humanities (3 credits). See LBHC's assessment plans and reports and its 2023-24 assessment plan for a list of annual goals and progress regarding the GELO assessment process.
