To complete either general studies degree, you must complete
course work in three learning areas: arts and humanities, science and
mathematics, and social and behavioral sciences. To fulfill the
requirements, you may choose from a variety of subject fields within each
learning area. These subject fields are described below. You also
complete additional hours of elective credits.
Area A: Arts and Humanities
Arts and humanities courses provide knowledge and interpretive frameworks
through which you may reflect on the complexity of human history, assess the
difficulties of determining moral values, appreciate the range and value of
human emotion and thought, and be sensitive to the varieties of aesthetic
expression.
Area B: Science and Mathematics
Science and mathematics courses give you an appreciation of the physical and
biological environment, introduce the discipline of systematic inquiry, provide
insight into experimental methods and results, and illustrate the role
and methods of the mathematical sciences.
Area C: Social and Behavioral Sciences
Social and behavioral sciences courses give you the means to analyze and
understand the social institutions in which you live, as well as the behavior
of individuals as they relate to one another and the world.
