GE Approved Courses - Additional Requirements
Additional GE Requirements: Global Issues and Human Diversity – GE Approved Courses
The following courses are approved to meet the General Education requirements indicated. Please note the following in reviewing these approved course lists:
- Refer to the online schedule of classes to see which courses are being offered for a specific term and to double check which GE requirements the course satisfies during that term.
- Be aware that the GE Category (A-F) requirements must each be satisfied by a unique course. The "Other GE Categories" column below may indicate additional categories a course is certified in but does not mean that the course will meet more than one category requirement for an individual student.
- Additional General Education Requirements should be met by courses also meeting the GE Category requirements to minimize the number of units needed.
