For details on completing the previous GE program (continuing students only), see the previous GE Program Summary table in the winter 2004 class schedule.
Please read the Introduction to
the Undergraduate Degree before considering the list of courses
to complete these requirements.
To complete the University Core, you must satisfy each of the 18 requirements
listed in the table below. Each can be completed by taking one course or a
combination of courses. In some cases, you may satisfy the requirement in other
ways: AP;
competency exams; or, in the case of Quantitative Reasoning,
ACT or SAT score. Furthermore, in some cases a single course may
complete two requirements (double count). Courses marked in bold
are especially recommended for freshman students.
To see the complete set of options for completing each requirement, click the requirement in the summary table below.
NEW STUDENTS: Be sure to read the note below the table, as well
as the introduction to the University Core found in the
Introduction to the Undergraduate Degree
.
Note 1: This list is subject to change each semester. Some classes listed
here have approval on a trial basis and may be removed from the list at a later
date. Please consult a current class schedule each semester/term to ensure that
the class you take is still approved for GE. Some requirements can also be
satisfied via AP or IB credit. Check with the Admissions Services office, A-209 ASB , telephone (801) 422-5000, for the current
mapping of AP/IB exams to GE requirements.

NEW STUDENTS:
Although the time to complete GE requirements varies according to the major,
all new students should complete the First-Year Writing and the two Book of
Mormon classes during their freshman year. First-year writing may be taken in
either semester of the first-year. It is also recommended that students who,
because of an ACT math subscore below 22, need to fill the Quantitative
Reasoning requirement do so in their first year, and that all new students
begin work in the mathematics or foreign language options under Languages of
Learning.
Students planning to satisfy the Scientific Principles and Reasoning/Biological
Science, /Physical Science requirements with the one-course options (e.g., Biol
100, PhyS 100) should also complete these, along with American Heritage, during
their first two years, making some progress on them in their first year.
Civilization courses are designed as sophomore-level courses, although some
programs include them during the freshman year. Advice as to when to complete
the other GE requirements can be obtained at
college advisement centers or department offices.

International students for
whom English is a second language (i.e. those who took the TOEFL exam as part
of the application process) may fulfill this requirement through any of the
American Heritage options. The student is responsible to see that this is
posted to the progress report through the college advisement center.
Students may also complete the Global and Cultural Awareness requirement
through a designated study abroad, international internship, or service
learning experience of at least one semester’s duration that involves working
with people outside one’s own culture. This option requires a reflection paper.
The paper should be of the same high quality as a class term paper, reflecting
the student’s best writing. The paper should be at least seven pages of typed
double-spaced text, plus title page, references, and any
relevant tables or figures. Substandard papers will not be accepted. The paper
should be submitted first to the faculty member in charge of the program. Once
the faculty member is satisfied with the paper as being of sufficiently high
quality to merit GE credit, the paper and cover memo from the faculty member
should then be submitted to the Office of General Education, 350 MSRB, for GE
clearance. |

Note: For less commonly taught languages, look for a FLang 202R course (for those who are not returned missionaries) or a FLang 330R course (for returned missionaries) taught
in that language. Occasionally, insufficient enrollment may preclude offering a
culminating course in a less commonly taught language. In such cases, the Center will offer FLang 202R and FLang 330R as an Independent Study course, if a qualified teacher can be found. The Independent Study course can be arranged through a special enrollment process. For information on the availability of language courses and Independent Study courses, please contact the Center for Language Studies,
(801) 422-1201.
To receive graded credit for the lower division courses covered by the foreign language challenge exam, students must take the challenge exam while enrolled in FLang 330R. This is a requirement whether the student is enrolled in a regular FLang 330R course or is taking the course through Independent Study. In all FLang 330R courses, the challenge exams will be scheduled by the Center for Language Studies and will be administered during the course.

Total hours: Total required religion hours 14; the total required hours in
general education may vary from 31.5 to 72 depending upon tracks chosen by
students or as a result of departmental requirements.
/H indicates that there are also honors sections of the departmental course;
Honrs refers to courses taught only in the Honors Program.
*A course designated “not for all students” is not targeted for all students;
it may have limited enrollment or be designed only or primarily for certain
majors. If you have questions about registering for this course, please consult
the instructor or College Advisement Center.
**Because regular gospel study should be a continuous part of a student's university experience, it would be ideal to take one religion class each semester of enrollment. No more than 4 hours of religion credit per semester (spring/summer counts as one semester) may be counted toward the required minimum hours to be taken at BYU.
