General Education Requirements

The General Education (GE) requirement promotes the intellectual growth of all undergraduates by ensuring that they acquire a breadth of knowledge that will enlarge their perspectives beyond the focus of a major and serve them well as participants in a knowledge-based society.

  • University General Education Requirements
    The university’s GE requirement has two components, Topical Breadth and Core Literacies, and is defined in terms of units, not courses. 
  • College General Education Requirements (PDF download)
    Specific to CBS students, the college's GE requirements identify courses for CBS majors that fulfill the university's Topical Breadth and Core Literacies requirements.
