Essential Education is Michigan Tech’s forward-thinking, student-centered core education curriculum structured around four learning goals and 12 Essential Abilities—the critical skills that tomorrow’s workforce needs. The program lets Huskies take ownership of their learning and prepare for success after Michigan Tech, both personally and professionally.
Students following a 2025-2026 or newer degree audit will need to complete Essential Education requirements.
