The General Education Program Requirements at UCM

The minimum number of required General Education semester credit hours for all students, regardless of their program of study, is 42. Some degree programs may require up to six additional hours of General Education depending on the math, science, and technology courses required.

Courses taken to fulfill General Education requirements may not be taken on the pass/fail basis. Students who have fulfilled all General Education requirements in a specific area may elect to take additional General Education courses as free elective hours in the same area on the pass/fail basis.

Some General Education selections listed on these pages may be limited by major/minor choice. Check the major/minor listing in the catalog for specific General Education requirements within the major/minor.

Students who transfer to UCM with an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Arts in Teaching degree are considered to have all general education requirements met, with the exception of major-required general education courses. Students who transfer with a degree other than an AA or AAT will have all coursework evaluated on a course-by-course basis.
