The purpose of this page is to make you aware of the College of Science requirements. I tried to select courses that would meet the requirement and are being offered in the semester to come. *** It is your responsibility to go to the College of Science/University website to make sure the courses are still meeting the requirement as this page represents the state of the requirement when I do the updates.

(check the College of Science website to make sure)

NOTE: Courses which have been taken to meet the General Education requirement may not also be used to meet a student’s Culture/Diversity or Great Issues requirement.

 

Outcome: Demonstrated breadth of knowledge and cultural appreciation . College of Science students will gain insights in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and/or Management to deepen their awareness of other disciplines of thought which complements and informs their scientific understanding of the world. The General Education requirement is met through completion of three courses (9 credits total) that have been approved to meet requirement. Students are encouraged to speak with their academic advisors about course options that may allow them to further an interest or develop a new one while meeting this important requirement.

The General Education list below contains approved courses effective as of Janaury, 2015*.  Students may use only  ONE course (3 credits) from the following subjects: AGEC, MGMT, OBHR, ECON, or ENTR to meet their general education requirement. Approved courses may be used in any combination to satisfy the General Education requirement. Presence of a course on the list does not guarantee that the course will be available during all terms.

Special Note: some courses on the list share the same course subject and number, however, they have different or variable titles. Only those titles listed are approved. Consult with your advisor if you have a question about the suitability of a course.

College of Science students are invited to nominate courses for the general education requirement. Please submit course suggestions to your academic advisor.

5. Interesting Free Electives

FS 470 - Wine Appreciation

* Students do not need to bring their IDs for checking; they check birthdays in the system as requests come up in their Registration Workflow for approval of the 21+ requirement and do not need to see IDs .

* Tthis applies more to just the in-person fall section, even if a student gets approval for being 21+ when requesting FS470 on their CRF during prereg, it does not guarantee a seat in the class. As with any popular elective course there may be students who do not get a seat in the class through the batch process due to space constraints and will need to pick an alternative or try to get a seat in open registration.

PREREG - just let the batch processing do its thing with every student who requests and is 21+ approved, to give students an equal shot at the in-person section. This will mean assuredly some students will not get seats immediately, even if they are 21+ simply due to space. Should seats open they are welcome to try and add in open registration, which will be handled in the order received for any open seats. If advisors could indicate as much to their students requesting in-person in the Fall it would be much appreciated and hopefully help to mitigate false expectations!

*Students NEED to be 21+ by the first day of class in order to be approved – if a student will be 21 a week into the semester, they are welcome to try and late add (space permitting), but we will not be approving anyone prematurely.
