This study aimed to determine whether the General Education courses of Letran Manila provide authentic learning. Three hundred thirty-six student responses from a researcher-made instrument based on the Principles of Authentic Learning by Ashford-Rowe et al. (2013) were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. Results showed that the GenEd curriculum provided agreeable and authentic learning experiences in Metacognition, Accuracy, Feedback, and Collaboration. However, few indicators under Level of Challenge, Product and Performances, Knowledge and Skill Transfer, and Environment and Tools yielded neutral results. The researchers concluded that students cannot bridge connections on how the difficult tasks that they do, along with the limited future work-training environment and tools in the General Education curriculum, hone the knowledge and skills they need for their careers. A proposal for a possible solution was provided by this study. The researchers also recommended further research as the utilized tool, as the utilized researcher-made instrument yielded a 0.97 Cronbach Alpha value.
