BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY GENERAL EDUCATION AND INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREME NTS
2012-13
The General Education Program a student takes at one public college or university will transfer without further review to
another public institution without the need for a course-to-course match. That is, courses defined as general education by one
institution will transfer as general education even if the receiving institution does not offer that specific course or has not
designated that course as general education.” This policy applies to State of Maryland institution as stated in the COMAR
General Education Standards for General Education courses. Departments may select and recommend to the Schools' and
University Curriculum Committees additional courses for approval as general education requirements.

This course, designed for students transferring to St. Mary’s College of Maryland with more than 24 credits, will focus on the four

IV. Experiencing the Liberal Arts in the World In this element of the Core Curriculum, students will bridge the gap between
their academy and the world beyond, transcending the theory-praxis divide and giving extra meaning to their academic courses by
applying their developing knowledge base to life experiences outside the boundaries of the college campus. By completing this
requirement, students will be able to:



practice the dynamic interaction of doing and reflecting;
discuss the value of being a participant/observer while maintaining a fluid balance between active participation and astute
observation with appropriate attention to details; and
synthesize their experiences through critical reflection and evaluation of the experience.
This requirement can be satisfied in several ways. There are four general options for satisfying the Experiencing the Liberal Arts in
the World requirement:
1.
Study Abroad: Students may satisfy the Experiencing the Liberal Arts in the World requirement by participating in at least
