Usage notes
In liberal arts universities, students are usually required to take certain classes in basic subjects like math and science. These are called general education classes or requirements. In addition, authors or editors will sometimes compile a list of educational materials and include them in a bibliography or similar section labeled as gen. ed. -- these are sources intended for "general education" on the subject, but are not cited as a source or used as a reference for any specific fact.
