2015-2016
Instructions for Completing the University Core
Please read the Introduction to the Undergraduate Degree
(http://saas.byu.edu/classschedule/policy/fall/intro.php) before
considering the list of courses to complete University Core (Religion and
General Education) requirements.
To complete these requirements, students must satisfy each of the 18
requirements listed under the above tabs. This list is subject to change
each semester. Please consult the most current list and MyMAP to
ensure the class you take is still approved. Religion requires 14 hours;
General Education (GE) requires 31.5 to 72 hours depending upon
tracks chosen by students or as a result of departmental requirements.
For GE, each requirement may be completed by taking one course or a
combination of courses. Some GE courses may complete two
requirements and are shown in the "Also Fulfills" column. In some
cases, students may satisfy the requirement in other ways such as
through a particular major (see "Major Options" link), AP or IB credit,
competency or challenge exams, or ACT or SAT score.
For First-Year Students
First-Year Mentoring is a unique gift from the University to all admitted
New Freshmen. Participating in First-Year Mentoring provides students
with active peer mentor support and priority registration access to high
demand University Core courses, including those that fulfill the FirstYear Writing and American Heritage requirements. These courses have
seats reserved for First-Year students and are available through the
University registration system in envelopes. Registration for these
1
University Core
2015-2016
mentored-courses is done during your priority registration. A brief
description of First-Year Mentoring is found in the Undergraduate
Education section of the catalog. Additional information may be
obtained from the First-Year Mentoring website or by contacting FirstYear Mentoring, 2014 JKB, (801) 422-8176 or 1 (877) 890-5451, or
emailing fym@byu.edu .
It is recommended that students who need to satisfy 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 Biological Science or Physical Science
requirements with the two-course options (e.g., PDBIO 120 + MMBIO
240; chemistry, physics, and geology combination options) should also
complete these requirements 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. Visit college advisement centers or
department offices for advice on when to complete the other GE
requirements.

Foreign Language Option Notes -Note 1: Nonnative speakers of English (i.e. those who took the TOEFL exam as
part of the application process) will fulfill the foreign language option through a
discrepancy form at their advisement center. Since non-native speakers of English
are taking almost all their courses in English, they fulfill this requirement without
the need to take specific foreign language courses.
Note 2: All foreign language courses have prerequisites.
Note 3: Where two courses are listed in the same language, the higher level
course is often for returned missionaries. Please consult your College Advisement
Center in choosing the appropriate course.
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 for Language Studies 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.
