Distribution Courses
2007-2008 Academic Year
UN1002, World Cultures, and UN2002, Institutions, serve as prerequisites for
the 15-credit distribution requirement. The distribution courses are divided into
two lists: World Cultures and Institutions.
Students must take six credits from each list. The final three credits can come
from either list. A number of 2000-level distribution courses, marked with an
asterisk, are designated as courses that can be taken during the first year in
the same term as Perspectives on Inquiry and/or World Cultures.
Note the following restrictions:
· If a course is labeled “activities,” a student may apply no more than three
credits of approved activities courses to satisfy this requirement.
· 9 credit hours must be at the 3000 or higher level.
Language Courses for Distribution Credit
All 15 credits of the distribution requirement may be filled with Modern
Language credits providing the following criteria are met: the courses are not in
the student’s native language, the courses meet the upper division requirement
(3000-4000 level) of 9 credits, and any distribution course specified by the
major is also taken.
International study abroad for Distribution Courses
General Education International transfer credit for study abroad students
(students with transfer credit from institutions outside of the U.S.) will be
assigned by International Programs and Services (IPS) without regard to
specific distribution list requirements. It is understood that IPS will apply nonMTU courses to distribution based on their being equivalent or congruent with
existing general education distribution courses. MTU courses taken as studyabroad will be applied to distribution list requirements based upon the
distribution list the course is on.
