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 its 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)
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.
SKILL GOALS:
- 1. Communicating Skills (minimum 2 three-hour courses or 6 hrs) [C]
- 2. Managing Information Skills (min. 1 course or 3 hrs) [MI]
- 3. Valuing Skills (min. 1 course or 3 hrs) [V]
KNOWLEDGE GOALS:
- 4. Social and Behavioral Sciences Knowledge Goal
(min. 3 three-hour courses or 9 hours minimum) [SS]
- 5. Humanities and Fine Arts Knowledge Goal (min. 3 three-hour courses or 9 hours minimum) [H]
- 6. 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.

The Humanities and Fine Arts Knowledge Goal develops the students' understanding of the ways in which humans have addressed their condition through imaginative work in the humanities and fine arts; to deepen their understanding of how that imaginative process is informed and limited bysocial, cultural, linguistic, and historical circumstances; and to appreciate the world of the creative imagination as a form of knowledge (CBHE General Education, June 2000).
Students must complete a minimum of three courses or nine hours from the Humanities and Fine Arts Knowledge area taken from the following list:

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).
Note: All students are required to earn a C- or better in a college-credit mathematics course having at least intermediate algebra as a prerequisite (Math 20(1030) 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.
Students must complete a minimum of four courses or twelve hours in the Mathematics and Life/Natural Sciences Knowledge area:
