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
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.
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.
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:
Social and Behavioral Sciences Knowledge Goal (min.
3 three-hour courses or 9 hours minimum) [SS]
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.

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(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.
Students
must complete a minimum of four courses or twelve hours in the Mathematics
and Life/Natural Sciences Knowledge area:

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 100 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.
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 having at least Intermediate Algebra as a prerequisite
(see * below).
- 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(20): Contemporary
Mathematics and Math 1030(30): College Algebra.
Math 1020(20) is designed as a terminal mathematics course for
students who do not plan to take
calculus. Math 1030(30) is required for all students who
want to go on to calculus. Students
can satisfy the prerequisite for enrolling in Math 1020(20) or Math 1030(30)
by scoring 22 or higher on the ACT Math sub-test, 14 or higher on the
UM-St. Louis Math Placement Test, successfully completing Mathematics
Workshop 0002 or completing, with a grade of C- or better, a two- or four-year
College Intermediate Algebra 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 tests may be taken at most twice.
Test dates are published in the Schedule of Courses.
Advanced
Expository Writing
Effective
fall semester 1985, students must also complete English 3100(210), 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
The requirement may be satisfied by one of the following courses:

Cultural Diversity
Requirement.
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.
These courses are also coded with the initials [CD] for Cultural
Diversity This requirement may be met by one of the following courses:
Anth 1011(11), Introduction to Cultural Anthropology
