General Education Requirements

Courses in writing, critical thinking, mathematics, sciences, arts and humanities, social sciences and ethnic studies are included in all GE patterns.
The requirements listed here are for the 2023-2024 academic year. For prior GE requirements or to determine the best requirements for your educational goal, please meet with a counselor.
