Students must take one course from each of the six Breadth areas (Fine & Performing Arts, Humanities, Info & Communication in Society, Life
Science, Physical Science, and Social Science). No more than two courses (6 hours) can be from the same department.
ENG 101 and SPC 101/SPC 103 must be completed during the first 30 hours at SIUE. ENG 102 must be completed during the first 45 hours at
SIUE. RA 101/PHIL 207/PHIL 213 and MATH 150 must be completed in the first 60 hours at SIUE.
If SPC 101 is taken instead of SPC 103, then a course from the list of United States Cultures (EUSC) in the current SIUE catalog or CougarNet
must also be taken.
Students must complete either PHYS 151/151L & PHYS 152/152L or CHEM 121a/125a (or CHEM 131/135) & CHEM 121b/125b and one
additional laboratory course from BIOL 150, CHEM 121a/125a (or CHEM 131/135), PHYS 151/151L, or PHYS 201/201L. BIOL 150 will meet
the Life Sciences-Breadth (BLS) requirement and has a prerequisite of CHEM 121a/125a.
It is recommended that students choose a course to meet this general education requirement and Global Cultures (EGC). If a course is not
selected that meets two general education requirements, then a course from the list of EGC in the current SIUE Undergraduate Catalog or
CougarNet must be taken.
MATH 250, 321, or 423 can be used to satisfy this requirement. In order to obtain a math minor without taking additional courses, students
must choose MATH 321 or 423.
CS 382, 423, 434, 438, 447, 454, 456, 482, 490, 495, ECE 381, 482, 483, or MATH 465.
Students may be able to complete the Health Experience (EH) as an approved project or activity. If so, an additional course may not be
needed.
General Education Note:
•
Students must complete one New Freshmen Seminar (NFS) course during their first 30 hours at SIUE, preferably in the 1st semester. Specific
sections (i.e. FR1, F01) of courses are potential options. Please see an academic advisor for clarification.
