General Education Requirements
Students are required to meet the AI, WR2, and QR (QA & QB) requirement by taking one or more courses in each of those areas. The BFA and BMus students are not required to complete the QB requirement.
Students are required to take two (2) classes in each of three of the four Intellectual Explorations (IE) areas (Fine Arts [FF], Humanities [HF], Physical/Life Sciences [SF]/Applied Sciences [AS], and Social & Behavioral Science [BF]) that are not associated with the student's major. So, to be clear, students need to take six classes total: two in each of the Intellectual Explorations (IE) areas in which they are not majoring.
Please consult with an advisor to learn which IE areas apply to specific programs of study.
