The university recently issued an announcement for all continuing and transferring

students. In Fall 2015, students will be granted the opportunity to complete a modified version of

the General Studies Program. The statement explained that, “The requirements of this reduced-
credit version of General Studies are detailed on General Studies Academic Planning Sheet 3-

GS. The main difference between the modified requirements and the previous requirements is a

reduction from 6-9 credits to only 6 credits in each area (A-F). The total number of credits

required for General Studies is thus reduced from 66 to 51-53 credits.” Students will now be able

to jump into the area courses for their major instead of taking the General Studies foundation

courses.
