General Education and Vision Support courses are part of the curricula in 2019 programs.

These courses include basic contents and methodologies in certain knowledge areas, and their objective is to present a wide knowledge and reinforce the cognitive abilities and emotional learning opportunities for each student; they do not focus on skills, techniques and procedures specific to the student's professional career. These courses support the qualities of the Institution's Vision.

En el Tecnológico de Monterrey los planes de estudio incorporan esta área curricular en 15 créditos obligatorios y 15 créditos variables acreditables por cursos en diferentes áreas de conocimiento con un propósito formativo específico alineado al objetivo de la Educación General y de soporte a la Visión.

Las opciones de cursos para acreditar los 15 créditos variables y los 15 créditos obligatorios para cada uno de los programas académicos se muestran en la siguiente tabla por área de conocimiento:
