The categories have been renumbered and renamed to match the SUNY categories, and the former Upper Level requirement was eliminated by Senate vote during the Spring semester of 2011. It is important to note that in the future, students will need only one Basic Communication Oral course to meet the Basic Communication category requirements, rather than the former requirement of two Speaking Intensive courses. Approved courses, distributed as follows. For more information on approved courses in each category, the General Education Master List can be found at the following link: http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/SUNY_Fredonia_General_Education_Program. asp. Approved by General Education Committee, March 2012 Credit Hours Category 3 1. Mathematics: http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/mathematics.asp 2. Natural Sciences: http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/naturalscience.asp (Two courses from different disciplines; only one may be from Mathematical 6 Sciences or Computer & Information Sciences. Requirements for certification or licensure may be different; check with program Advisor.) 3. Social Sciences: http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/socialsciences.asp (Two courses from different disciplines; only one may be from Business 6 Administration, Education, History, Communication or Communication Disorders.) 4. American History: http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/history.asp (Students who scored below 85 on the NYS American History and Government 3 Regents Exam must take either HIST 105 or HIST 106 or HIST 133 to meet this category; all other students may take a course in American History-A or American History-B.) 5. Western Civilization: 3 http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/westciv.asp 6. Other World Civilizations: 3 http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/worldhistory.asp 7. Humanities: 3 http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/humanities.asp 8. Arts: 3 http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/arts.asp 9. Foreign Languages*: 0-6 http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/forlang.asp To demonstrate proficiency, all students may do one of the following: Score 85 or higher on a N.Y.S. Regents Foreign Language Exam. Complete the externally-administered standardized test for foreign language of either the AP (3 or higher) or CLEP (50th percentile or higher). Have native fluency of a language other than English. Study abroad with a language component (and submit a Course Appeal/Substitution request to the Office of the Associate Provost for Curriculum, Assessment, and Academic Support prior to traveling abroad), or Successfully complete a 3-6 credit foreign language course at Fredonia in this category at the appropriate level (115 or 116 or 120/121). Students enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts program must demonstrate a language proficiency at the 116 level or beyond; in some cases this may mean also taking a 115 level course as a prerequisite. For BA students, this prerequisite course does not count as completion of this category. To demonstrate proficiency, students enrolled in some professional programs, those leading to certification in elementary or secondary education, or programs leading to careers where there is likely to be significant contact with the hearing impaired (e.g., Early Childhood Education, Childhood Education, Childhood Inclusive Education, Middle Childhood Education, Adolescence Education, Music Education, Communication Disorders and Sciences, Criminal Justice, Psychology, Social Work, Sociology), may successfully complete 3 or 6 credits of ASL). Inquiries related to the ASL proficiency should be directed to the Associate Provost for Curriculum & Academic Support. Students unsure of their proficiency in any area other than ASL should consult with the Chair of the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures. Only the completion of a 115, 116, SPAN 120/121 or ASL course will earn credit hours; all other options will fulfill this category but earn 0 credit hours. 10. Basic Communication (Written component) 3 http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/written.asp 11. Speaking-Intensive Requirement (Oral component of the Basic Communication requirement for SUNY) 0-3 http://www.fredonia.edu/department/gened/speakingguidlines.asp Transfer students may receive credit in categories 1 through 11 of the General Education Program for similar courses taken at other colleges or approved advanced placement courses and exams. Any course approved for the SUNY General Education Requirements from a SUNY college or university will be accepted as a course in the corresponding Fredonia General Education Category. *With the exception of American Sign Language, the Modern Language department will use its best professional judgment in determining when students have fulfilled the learning outcomes of the foreign language requirement in ways other than those sketched above. Issues related to American Sign Language are directed to the Communications Disorders and Sciences Department or the Chair of the General Education Committee. Moreover, under appropriate circumstances, waivers of the requirement will be taken under consideration by the Associate Provost for Curriculum, Assessment, and Academic Support. Questions pertaining to the General Education Program may be directed to the Associate Provost for Curriculum, Assessment, and Academic Support, 810 Maytum Hall, (716) 6733717.

Student learning outcomes in compliance with the SUNY-GEAR learning outcomes for General Education have been written for all components of the program. Courses are approved for the various components if they provide instruction guided by those learning outcomes. The complete program consists of the following elements: ACADEMIC PLANNING SEMINAR (GEP 100; 1 CREDIT) FIRST-YEAR ORIENTATION COURSE A small-group orientation to the College, designed for and required of matriculated first-year students, including transfers with fewer than 24 credits in their first semester at Brockport. The one-credit seminar introduces students to the academic expectations and opportunities of college life, and helps them plan their individual academic programs in relationship to the College's requirements and students’ personal interests and career goals. It also provides students with a personal academic advisor with whom they will be associated until they have declared a major in a particular field or department. Students in certain programs take a three-credit version, GEP 120. There are also special similar semester-long orientation courses for Delta College Program, Honors Program students, and students participating in ROTC that meet this General Education requirement. COLLEGE COMPOSITION (3–9 CREDITS) Nothing in a college education is more important than developing an ability to think critically and to express ideas effectively. Brockport’s college composition courses are specifically designed to improve these skills. Because students’ backgrounds vary widely, each student is placed by the director of College Composition in an appropriate course based on high school records, transfer records, standardized test scores, and initial diagnostic testing. Students with superior records or outstanding achievement on in-class diagnostic tests may be waived from the College Composition requirement. Students with serious writing skill deficiencies will be placed in ENG 101 English for Foreign Students or ENG 102 Fundamentals of College Composition, and will be required to earn a grade of "C" or higher before entering into ENG 112. A minimum grade of "C" is required to successfully complete ENG 101, ENG 102 and ENG 112. Successful completion of ENG 112 with a "C" or higher is necessary to satisfy the General Education requirement for Composition. COLLEGE MATHEMATICS: (3 CREDITS) The importance of mathematical analysis in contemporary society in a variety of college programs and in general intellectual development is reflected in this component of the General Education Program. The College requires freshmen and transfer students to demonstrate competence in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and quantitative reasoning. Initial placement into one of the following categories by the Coordinator of Developmental Mathematics is based on high school and/or college transfer courses and Math SAT scores. Students may meet the General Education requirement in mathematics by passing MTH 112, MTH 122, MTH 221 (or higher, excluding MTH 313) or any approved college-level statistics 68 Degree Requirements and Related Policies course. The statistics courses include ECN 204, MTH 243, MTH 346, PSH 202, SOC 200, and HLS 488. Students with strong backgrounds in mathematics may meet the General Education requirement with no further course work. However, other mathematics or statistics courses may be required for specific academic majors. Students with mathematical skill deficiencies will be placed either in MTH 110 Introduction to Mathematics or MTH 111 College Algebra. Both courses are considered preparatory to courses that meet the General Education mathematics requirement. Students who have been waived from the College mathematics requirement cannot receive credit for MTH 112 or any course preparatory to it (MTH 110, MTH 111). NOTE: Brockport requires an Academic Planning Seminar, and courses in composition skills and college mathematics of almost all entering students. Students should begin them as soon as possible, usually in the first semester, and complete them at the earliest opportunity. These courses are entry-level experiences providing a foundation for further college work. Passing the Computer Skills Examination is a graduation requirement and this examination should be prepared for and completed as soon as possible because of the everincreasing importance of computers in other course work. KNOWLEDGE AREA REQUIREMENTS (MINIMUM OF 25 CREDITS) As the intellectual "core" of the General Education Program, Knowledge Area courses are designed to introduce the major content areas of a liberal arts education and to reinforce composition and mathematical skills. Such courses will, therefore, normally involve substantial writing assignments. In addition to composition and mathematics, students will be expected to satisfy the following Knowledge Area requirements: a. Two courses in the fine arts, at least one of which must include a substantial performance experience. b. Two courses in the natural sciences, at least one of which must include a laboratory experience. c. Two courses in the social sciences. d. Two courses in the humanities. e. One course designated as Non-Western civilization OR diversity (both completed by taking Knowledge Area courses above that also meet one of these requirements). FOREIGN LANGUAGES Students are required to complete the equivalent of one semester of a foreign language as a General Education requirement. Students are placed in foreign language courses by performance on a computerized placement examination. Decisions on placements and waivers of this requirement are made by the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures. Students may fulfill this requirement in several ways: successful completion of a 111 Beginning I or higher foreign language course at Brockport, an AP foreign language examination, or a CLEP foreign language examination; an appropriate score on the placement test administered by Brockport; and successful completion of a program of study abroad of at least five weeks duration, in which the language of instruction is not English. International students whose native language is not English should consult with the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures regarding the language requirement. PLEASE NOTE: Meeting the General Education foreign language requirement does not meet the foreign language requirement for the BA degree and may not satisfy language requirements for certain major and/or educational certification programs. Students entering in or after fall 2000 are subject to the SUNY Trustees’ one-course requirement. Brockport’s one-semester Degree Requirements and Related Policies 69 requirement became effective in fall 2011. CONTEMPORARY ISSUES (3 CREDITS) Preferably during the junior or senior year, students are required to complete one General Education course that applies their skills and knowledge to a problem or issue facing contemporary society. Such courses encourage students to think seriously about the ethical implications of the problem and to integrate ideas and information from several disciplines. Special attention is directed toward enhancing students’ writing and critical reasoning skills. Students who enroll in a Contemporary Issues course will normally have completed ENG 112 and the Knowledge Area courses. This requirement can be met by courses transferred with appropriate content. PERSPECTIVES ON GENDER Women represent half of the human population, and all students should be aware of the scholarship on and by women. Perspectives on Gender courses do not necessarily focus exclusively on women’s experiences and perspectives; they will incorporate recent scholarship on women and introduce gender as a category of analysis appropriate to the discipline or area of the course. DIVERSITY Students are required to take one course with outcomes dealing with the analysis of social conflicts, prejudices, and/or intolerance arising from such issues as racism, ethnic hatred, and religious intolerance. These courses are not "stand alone" courses. These outcomes are attached to General Education Knowledge Area courses and are coded "D." WORLD CIVILIZATIONS (NON-WESTERN) Courses whose student learning outcomes allow students to demonstrate a knowledge of a broad outline of world history or the distinctive features of history, institutions, economy, society and culture of one non-Western civilization, and to compare the perspective of at least one non-Western, third-world, or developing society with their own. At Brockport, these courses are not offered as "stand alone" courses, but the World Civilizations outcomes are attached to another Knowledge Area course (O code). ORAL COMMUNICATION, INFORMATION LITERACY, AND CRITICAL THINKING These constitute student learning outcomes required by the SUNY Board of Trustees. At Brockport, these outcomes are met in a number of different courses. Because of this "infusion" into several courses, these requirements do not have individual credits assigned to them. Students complete these outcomes as they complete the other required courses in the Brockport General Education curriculum. REQUIRED COMPETENCY EXAMINATION IN COMPUTER SKILLS The growing importance of computer-based technology in society and its increasing application to many fields of study has led the College to give computer literacy a central place in its curriculum. Passing this examination is required of all freshmen who matriculated in fall 2001 or later. Students may prepare for the examination by online tutorials and by workshops on computer skills. The examination stresses an ability to perform tasks using the Microsoft Windows© operating system, Microsoft Word©, Microsoft Excel©, and PowerPoint©. Currently 70 Degree Requirements and Related Policies approximately 89 percent of freshman students pass the examination in their first semester. Although no credit is awarded for the examination, passing the examination is a requirement for graduation and it should be taken in the first year, preferably first semester, at Brockport. Consult with the Office of Assessment and Testing, Drake Library, or see the College web site for additional information. GENERAL EDUCATION COURSE CODES The codes listed below indicate the General Education requirements that a specific course will satisfy. Only courses that bear the code for a particular requirement are approved for use in the General Education program. General Education codes are placed after the course number in catalogs and course schedules. Courses may bear several codes and in such cases can meet several requirements.

SUNY Morrisville SUNY General Education Requirements In December 1998, the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York established a General Education requirement for all students studying for bachelor’s degrees who enter SUNY in the fall, 2000 semester or thereafter. Morrisville students who intend to transfer after graduation to a bachelor degree program need to plan their Morrisville course of study to meet part of this general education requirement and facilitate their transfer. The requirements establish 10 content areas and three competencies that must be met by students receiving a bachelor’s degree within the SUNY system. Students in most programs leading to the associate of arts or associate of science degrees who intend to transfer to bachelor degree programs will work with their advisors to complete the course work in at least seven of the 10 content areas. (Some AA and AS programs may have an exemption for one or more of the 10 content areas. Students should consult with their academic advisors for details pertaining to their particular degree program.) Students in programs leading to associate of applied science degrees who intend to transfer to another SUNY institution should likewise work with their advisors to complete as many of the areas as possible. Listed are the Morrisville State College courses that have been approved as fulfilling each of 10 content areas. Students should consult their academic advisors or school office about courses that may have been added to this list after the catalog went to press.
