Language Classes to Count Towards GE

Thursday, May 18, 2017

Classes in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Persian, and Spanish will be eligible for General Education (GE) credit starting in Fall 2017. Students will now be able to take most lower division language classes offered by the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and use them towards the C2: Humanities General Education (GE) requirement. In addition, specific classes may satisfy the GE overlays of Global Perspective (GP), Social Justice (SJ), and American Ethnic and Racial Minorities (AERM). Keeping in mind also that language classes satisfy the Complementary Studies (CS) requirement for most majors, students will be able to make a triple play of these classes and satisfy multiple graduation requirements with a single course.
