University Core (GE + Religion) Detailed Options - Fall 2007

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.

Note 2: Courses that include honors sections are followed by /H.

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.

The Independent Study course can be arranged through a special enrollment process.

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.

Open Electives Courses chosen from various disciplines to round out the student’s education—required only if students need classes to complete the 120 hours for graduation.

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.

*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.

Note: For details on completing the previous GE program, see the previous GE Program Summary table from the winter 2004 class schedule.
