General Education Requirements

In order to complete the General Education Requirements students must complete course work in:

• Five Areas of Knowledge:
  
  • Arts, Literatures, and Performance (ALP)
    
  • Civilizations (CZ)
    
  • Natural Sciences (NS)
    
  • Social Sciences (SS)
    
  • Quantitative Studies (QS)*
    

    *Note: Students who have matriculated before May 2004 must complete the two-course QID Mode of Inquiry requirement (including one M-coded course) rather than the QS Area of Knowledge requirement.

• Six Modes of Inquiry, including:
  
  • Cross-Cultural Inquiry (CCI)
    
  • Ethical Inquiry (EI)
    
  • Science, Technology, and Society (STS)
    
  • Foreign Language (FL)
    
  • Research (R)
    
  • Writing (W)

Not all courses are coded for Areas of Knowledge and/or for Modes of Inquiry. It is important that you check the curriculum codes on a course at the time that you register for it.
