HEALTHY MIX OF GE COURSES

Arts and Humanities

There must be a mix of Communication and Humanities subjects: note that Comm II & III and Hum I & II still require prerequisites. It is strongly suggested that a student should take one subject from each of the following pools to complete the required 15 units. Pool 1 - COM III Pool 2 - HUM 1 OR SPEECH 11, but NOT both - HUMDADES I OR HUM ST 20, but NOT both - HUM ST 25 Pool 3 - HUM II Students with 6/9-unit exemption (BS students) should take other GE courses different from their approved substitutions. Students without the 6/ 9-unit exemption should take MST courses different from the prescribed subjects. Students must take at least 3 units of Philosophy. Students may take either History 2 or History 3 but NOT both.
