Diversity Requirement

Those courses with the course number preceded by the designation (d) are diversity courses. Students must include at least two diversity courses (8 units), which may be selected from Block C, Block E, or from the General Education Upper Division Themes as described in the following section.

Minimum Average Grade

A minimum C grade average in general education is required of all students following the 1987- 1989, or any later catalog.

Select any one of the themes listed (A thru I). Courses in each theme are distributed among three areas including: Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social Sciences and Humanities. You must complete one course from each of the three areas in the chosen theme. Do not take more than one course from the same area. You can find all the different themes (Theme A to Theme I) in the Schedule of Classes and also the University Catalog.

EXAMPLE: If you choose Theme A: Challenge of Change in the Developing World, as described below, you can take GEOG333, ECON360 and TVF324. You cannot take GEOG333, GEOL351, and PHIL334 to meet this requirement.

A. Challenge of Change in the Developing World

This theme explores the dilemmas faced by the peoples of Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America as they struggle to overcome legacies of colonialism and economic dependence. The developing countries are characterized by severe social and cultural tensions, physical complexities and challenges to themselves and the rest of the world. Their current integration into the global economy marks a crucial stage in world history. The natural science courses assess their physical settings, constraints and possibilities; the social science courses analyze social, political and economic processes of change; the humanities component examines the dynamic interplay among the arts, religion and cultural values.
