All university graduates must complete a group of basic courses known as the General Education Core. The courses provide students with a solid foundation for acquiring higher-level knowledge in their chosen field of study. Undergraduate students demonstrate their basic knowledge by taking a General Exit Exam the semester they graduate. MTSU's current General Exit Exam is the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST).

A sample test is available to learn more about what the test is like. The sample test should not take longer than 10 minutes.
