The Office of Instruction administers the General Education curriculum at Malcolm X College.

The General Education courses at MXC are designed to equip all students with the skills to prepare students to achieve academic, career, and personal success. All degree-seeking students are required to take a minimum of 15 credits in the general education courses. 

The General Education curriculum at Malcolm X College includes courses in the disciplines of Fine Arts, Humanities, Literature, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, World Languages, and Written and Oral Communication. This curriculum provides students with an intellectual foundation in the ideas, knowledge, and perspectives from diverse academic and cultural traditions. The General Education courses enable students to learn and apply scholarship from multiple disciplines in order to solve complex and everyday academic, social, ethical, and philosophical problems of local and global significance. Furthermore, it enables students to develop broader cultural understanding and sensitivity that is useful during their education and beyond. 

The General Education program also functions as the space for acquiring and developing the skills necessary for the completion of an associate’s degree, transfer to a four-year university, and/or completion of a professional certificate.

Furthermore, it enables students to develop broader cultural understanding and sensitivity that is useful during their education and beyond.  

The aim of Inclusive Pedagogy is to advance the education of all students, particularly those who are culturally, linguistically, and cognitively learning diverse, through teacher development coupled with teachers’ analysis of their thinking and practice in relationship to all students in their classrooms and schools (Teemant & Pinnegar, 2019).
