General Education Requirements:
Students must successfully complete the general requirements of the university, the school or college in which they are enrolled, and the specific requirements of their area of specialization. Described below are the general education requirements for all degrees.
The University of Missouri-St. Louis General Education Program was approved by the Faculty Senate April 23, 2002. This program affords both native and transfer students attending our university the opportunity to develop and use intellectual tools and to acquire a breath of knowledge necessary in our challenging, technological, and diverse world. This program challenges students to investigate various disciplines as potential majors and to develop environments, and it prepares them for success in major fields of study. The program complies fully with the Missouri Coordinating Board of Higher Education Guidelines on Transfer and Articulation (June 2000).

General Education Requirements
(Effective Fall, 2002)

Application of Policy to Freshmen
Freshmen who enrolled at UM-St. Louis or at any other accredited post-secondary institution in fall 2002, and all future freshmen, must complete the requirements of the General Education Plan in order to earn a baccalaureate degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. For purposes of this policy, a freshman is defined as any student who has completed less than 24 semester hours of credit* prior to the start of the fall 2002 semester.

*Only credit that is transferable to UM-St. Louis is applicable. For purposes of implementing the general education plan at UM-St. Louis, the phrase "credit that is transferable" shall be interpreted to mean all credit associated with coursework completed with a grade of D- or better at a regionally accredited post-secondary institution (or an approved foreign college or university). Credit associated with military science and developmental/remedial coursework shall be excluded from this understanding of "credit that is transferable".

Application of Policy to Others
Students who have earned 24 or more semester hours of credit* at any accredited post-secondary institutions(s) before the start of the fall 2002 semester must meet the general education requirements stipulated in the UM-St Louis 2001-2002 Bulletin.  However, such students may elect to complete the new General Education Plan described below that became effective in the fall semester of 2002.  
*Only credit that is transferable to UM-St. Louis is applicable

SKILL GOALS:
Communicating Skills (minimum 2 three-hour courses or 6 hrs) [C]
Managing Information Skills (min. 1 course or 3 hrs) [MI]
Valuing Skills (min. 1 course or 3 hrs) [V]

KNOWLEDGE GOALS:

Humanities and Fine Arts Knowledge Goal (min. 3 three-hour courses or 9 hours minimum) [H]
Mathematics and Life/Natural Sciences (min. 4 three-hour courses or 12 hours minimum) [MS]

Students may take only those courses listed below for the 42-hour General Education block. Many courses satisfy more than one goal, are designated as such, and may be counted for all of the goals listed for each specific course. Select courses that concentrate fully on a skill goal(s) but no knowledge goals have been marked with an asterisk, and it should be noted that those courses concentrate on the designated skill comprehensively.

Once students have met the required number of courses or hours under each goal, they may take any of the certified General Education courses listed under any of the goals to achieve the 42-hour program. This offers them the opportunity to use the General Education program to meet their individual needs and interests. Students may not take any upper-level courses or any lower-level courses that do not appear on the list of certified General Education courses to complete the 42-hour block.

Transfer students entering UM-St. Louis may transfer a CBHE approved 42-hour block of General Education courses, in accordance with the CBHE Transfer and Articulation agreement. However, those students transferring with fewer than 42 hours or from a non-participating institution will have their transcripts evaluated on a course-by-course basis.

The new General Education Program of the University of Missouri-St. Louis offers students an exciting and challenging program that develops the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in today's changing world. The following information outlines each of the six goals and the courses that meet the competencies students must achieve to accomplish the designated skills and knowledge goals. The program also allows for individual choices in disciplines and skills to assist the students in their undergraduate endeavors at UM-St. Louis.

GOAL # 6 MATHEMATICS AND LIFE/NATURAL SCIENCES KNOWLEDGE

The Mathematics and Life/Natural Sciences Knowledge Goal develops students' abilities in the areas of mathematics and sciences. In mathematics, the goal develops the students' understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts and their applications. Students should develop a level of quantitative literacy that would enable them to make decisions and solve problems and which could serve as a basis for continued learning. To meet this goal, students must have one mathematics course that has the same prerequisite(s) and level of rigor as college algebra. In the life and natural sciences, this goal develops the students' understanding of the principles and laboratory procedures of life and physical sciences and to cultivate their abilities to apply the empirical methods of scientific inquiry. Students should understand how scientific discovery changes theoretical views of the world, informs our imaginations, and shapes human history. Students should also understand that science is shaped by historical and social contexts (CBHE General Education, June 2000). Students must complete a minimum of four courses or twelve hours in the Mathematics and Life/Natural Sciences Knowledge area.

Note: All students are required to earn a C- or better in a college-credit mathematics course (Math 1020 or higher meets this requirement at UM-St. Louis), or achieve a score of 26 or higher on the Missouri Math Placement Test. Students should check the current schedule of courses for more details regarding math proficiency and placement.

Credit Hours
All candidates for baccalaureate degrees must complete a minimum of 120 semester hours. At least 45 of these hours must be courses numbered 2000 or above (or comparable courses transferred). Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average overall, as well as in their area of specialization. Students seeking two degrees must meet all degree and residency requirements of each degree.

Other Requirements
Mathematical Skills:
Proficiency in the basic mathematical skills area should be satisfied before the student completes 24 hours of course work. Proficiency can be obtained in either of the following ways.

Completing, with a grade of C- or better, a college
credit mathematics course. Scoring 26 or higher on the Missouri Math Placement Test (MMPT). The MMPT covers mathematics through the college algebra level.

*The first two college credit mathematics courses that the university offers which satisfy mathematics proficiency are Math 1020: Contemporary Mathematics and Math 1030: College Algebra. Math 1020 is designed as a terminal mathematics course for students who do not plan to take calculus. Math 1030 is required for all students who want to go on to calculus. The prerequisite for enrolling in Math 1020 or Math 1030 is a satisfactory score on the math placement test. (effective January, 2005) This test must be taken not earlier than 6 months before enrolling in the course.

Study guides for the UM-St. Louis Math Placement Test and the MMPT (as well as the UM-St. Louis Trigonometry Test, which is not needed for minimum math proficiency) are available on the University's home page, under math placement information/math practice test, as well as at the circulation desk of the Thomas Jefferson Library (file number 991). Students will need to make their own copies. Math placement test dates are published in the Schedule of Courses.

Advanced Expository Writing
Effective fall semester 1985, students must also complete English 3100, Advanced Expository Writing, or its equivalent, with a grade of C- or above.

American History and Government: Students must satisfactorily complete a course or courses in American history or government taken at UM-St. Louis or at other colleges or universities in Missouri. Transfer students should check with the dean's office of their division to find out if they have fulfilled this requirement.

The requirement may be satisfied by one of the following courses:

To expand cultural awareness, students in some academic units may be required to complete a course that emphasizes Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Latin American, Pacific aboriginal, Native American, or a comparable culture. Courses that satisfy this requirement involve substantial material independent of the cultures' interactions with European cultures. If a course focuses on one facet of a culture, it must treat the topic within the context of the culture as a whole.
