*NOTE: 120 credits are required for graduation, including 46 general education credits (40
required by UW-Stout and six additional requirements by HDFS in the Social Behavioral
Science category, including: PSYCH 110, SOC 110, POLS 210 and 3 additional credits from any
SBSCI area), 53 core HDFS credits (assuming a 4 credit practicum), 15 concentration credits,
and 6 free elective credits.
HDFS courses marked with an “*” indicate that, besides meeting an HDFS requirement, they
also fulfill a general education requirement. When you take those courses, you are working
toward fulfilling the general education category (A,B,C,D,E, F, and Racial and Ethnic Studies RES A and B), but keep in mind that 120 total credits are needed to earn the degree, even if the
categories are met. If you plan carefully, you can satisfy many of the general education
categories with your core coursework, free electives, and/or concentration credits. This will give
you maximum flexibility in what courses to take to reach the 120 credit minimum for graduation.
If you are a transfer student, carefully selecting your classes may result in being able to use more
of your previous coursework to bring you to the 120 required credits. Please see a program plan
and contact your advisor to plan efficient progress toward degree.
Below is a list of other HDFS courses that count toward satisfying general education categories.
HDFS 352 Sexual and Gender Identities in Families and Societies GE E, 2 cr.
HDFS 410 Families in an Electronic World GE E, 3 cr.
HDFS 460 Religious Diversity and the Workplace GE E, 3 cr.
