Instructions for Completing the University Core

Please read the Introduction to the Undergraduate Degree before considering the list of courses to complete these requirements.

To complete the University Core, students must satisfy each of the 18 requirements listed in the table above. Each can be completed by taking one course or a combination of courses. In some cases, students may satisfy the requirement in other ways: AP; competency exams; or, in the case of Quantitative Reasoning, ACT or SAT score. Furthermore, in some cases a single course may complete two requirements (double count).

Total required religion hours is 14; the total required hours in general education may vary from 31.5 to 72 depending upon tracks chosen by students or as a result of departmental requirements.

 

Note 1: Departmental courses that include honors sections are followed by /H; Honrs refers to courses taught only in the Honors Program.

Note 2: This list is subject to change each semester. Some classes listed here have approval on a trial basis and may be removed from the list at a later date. Please consult a current class schedule each semester/term to ensure the class you take is still approved for GE. Some requirements can also be satisfied via AP or IB credit. Check with the Admissions Services office, A-209 ASB , telephone (801) 422-5000, for the current mapping of AP/IB exams to GE requirements.

For  First-Year Students: Although the time to complete GE requirements varies according to the major, all new students will participate in Freshman Mentoring. This program provides students with active peer mentor support and priority access to high demand University Core courses, including those that fulfill the First-Year Writing and American heritage requirements. Additional general education and/or major-related bundles will also be available for selection. Both honors and non-honors options are available. Students select bundles through the Freshman Mentoring website. A brief description of Freshman Mentoring is found in the Undergraduate Education section of the catalog. Additional information may be obtained from the Freshman Mentoring website (http://freshmanmentoring.byu.edu) or by contacting Freshman Mentoring, 2014 JKB, (801) 422- 8176 or 1 (877) 890-5451 or emailing freshmanmentoring@byu.edu.

It is recommended that students who need to fill the Quantitative Reasoning requirement, because of an ACT subscore below 22, do so in their first year. It is also recommended that all new students begin work in the mathematics or foreign language options under Languages of Learning.

Students planning to satisfy the Scientific Principles and Reasoning: Biological Science or Physical Science requirements with the one-course options (e.g., Bio 100, Bio 130, etc. / Phy S 100) should also complete these during their first two years, making some progress on them in their first year. Civilization courses are designed as sophomore-level courses, although some programs include them during the freshman year. Advice as to when to complete the other GE requirements can be obtained at college advisement centers or department offices.

Additional Options:

  • Most foreign language option course under the Languages of Learning Requirements will double-count for GCA. See the Languages of Learning list for exceptions.

  • International students for whom English is a second language (i.e. those who took the TOEFL exam as part of the application process) may fulfill this requirement through any of the American Heritage options.  The student is responsible to see that this is posted to the progress report through the college advisement center.

  • Students may also complete the Global and Cultural Awareness requirement through a study abroad or designated international internship, or service learning experience of at least one semester's or two consecutive terms' duration that involves interacting with people outside one's own cultural heritage. This option requires an analytical paper which should be of the same high quality as a class term paper. The paper should be submitted first to the faculty member in charge of the program. Once the faculty member is satisfied with the paper as being of sufficiently high quality to merit GE credit, the paper and cover memo from the faculty member should the be submitted to the Office of General Education, 350 MSRB, for GE clearance. Visit the General Education website for details on how to proceed and for more information including paper format.

Note 4: For less commonly taught languages, look for a FLang 202R course (for those who are not returned missionaries) or a FLang 330R course (for returned missionaries) taught in that language. Occasionally, insufficient enrollment may preclude offering a culminating course in a less commonly taught language. In such cases, the Center will offer FLang 202R and FLang 330R as an Independent Study course, if a qualified teacher can be found. The Independent Study course can be arranged through a special enrollment process. For information on the availability of language courses and Independent Study courses, please contact the Center for Language Studies, (801) 422-1201.

R-suffix classes cannot be marked repeated on the transcript.

To receive graded credit for the lower division courses covered by the foreign language challenge exam, students must take the challenge exam while enrolled in FLang 330R. This is a requirement whether the student is enrolled in a regular FLang 330R course or is taking the course through Independent Study. In all FLang 330R courses, the challenge exams will be scheduled by the Center for Language Studies and will be administered during the course.

Core Enrichment: Electives

Religion Electives

3-4 courses (6 elective religion hours are required, making 14 religion credits total)

Note: Because regular gospel study should be a continuous part of a student's university experience, it would be ideal to take one religion class each semester of enrollment. No more than 4 hours of religion credit per semester (spring/summer counts as one semester) may be counted toward the required minimum hours to be taken at BYU.

Open Electives

Courses chosen from various disciplines to round out the student’s education—required only if students need classes to complete the 120 hours for graduation.
