The Colonnade Program is WKU’s distinctive General Education curriculum.

WKU adopted the Colonnade Program to ensure that each student possesses certain academic skills, a breadth of human knowledge, and an appreciation for the diversity of ideas and perspectives that exist in the nation and world. All Colonnade courses are designed to challenge you, inspire you, and, most importantly, prepare you for the future.
