General Education Guidelines
All students must complete an approved General Education program in order to graduate from a college or university in the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education.
Courses satisfying General Education requirements cannot be used to satisfy requirements in the major.
Some General Education course requirements may be met via CLEP and advanced standing exams.
A maximum of 10 credit hours of General Education credit may be waived through alternative courses. All alternative courses must be approved by the Dean and the Registrar.
A minimum of six credit hours of approved alternative course work must be completed in an area before a student can be exempt from completing the related General Education course (e.g. complete Economics 2263 and 2363 instead of Economics 1113 or Biology 1104 and 1204 instead of Biology 1004).
Mid-level assessment is accomplished within the general education courses. Faculty use curriculum-embedded methods such as exams, papers, projects, etc. for improvement of instruction.
