Core Curriculum Requirements for 2010-11 Transfer Students
The general education program is designed to emphasize the acquisition and improvement of those fundamental skills essential to advanced college work, especially the abilities to think critically, to read with discernment, to write effectively, and to understand quantitative data. It aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understanding oneself, others, and the environment. It seeks to develop a critical appreciation of both the value and the limitations of significant methods of inquiry and analysis. Its goal, moreover, is the student’s achievement of at least the minimal level of literacy in mathematics, in science and technology, in historical perspectives and the comprehension of our own and other cultures, in aesthetic sensibility, and in the diverse approaches of the humanities and the social sciences to understanding the human condition.
General education is intended to serve as a foundation for any major. It aims to go beyond the mastery of job-related skills and educate students so that they learn how to learn. The program is based on the premise that change is the dominant characteristic of our times and that the truly useful education stresses intellectual adaptability and the development of those problem-solving abilities, cognitive skills, and learning techniques vital to lifelong learning.Students must fulfill the following general education requirements:
1. one course in writing skills, which must be taken during a student's first year. This course will satisfy the English 401, First Year Writing component of the writing requirement;
2. one course in quantitative reasoning, which must be taken during a student's first year;
3. three courses in biological science, physical science, or technology, with no more than two courses in any one area;
4. one course in historical perspectives;
5. one course in foreign culture (may also be satisfied by approved study abroad programs);
6. one course in fine arts;
7. one course in social science; and
8. one course in works of philosophy, literature, and ideas.
General education requirements shall not be waived on the basis of special examinations or placement tests, except for the College Board Advanced Placement tests and the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests. The required courses cannot be taken on a pass/fail basis. No single course may be counted in more than one general education category. Academic departments may or may not permit general education courses to count toward requirements for a major. Each course must carry at least 3 credits to qualify for general education consideration.
The specific courses that fulfill each category of the general education requirements are printed below. Any course appearing in this list will fulfill a general education requirement if taken after September 1, 2010. For the most current listing of general education courses, go to: unhinfo.unh.edu/registrar/geneduc/genedreq.html.
