SUNY GENERAL EDUCATION 2000 REQUIREMENTS (for students who
started at a SUNY school in the Fall 2000 semester or later). The State
University of New York's General Education Requirement requires baccalaureate
degree candidates, as a condition of graduation, to complete a General
Education program of no fewer than 30 credit hours specifically designed
to achieve the student learning outcomes in ten knowledge areas, as
specified below (codes in parentheses are used by NCCC to identify appropriate
courses): | |||
Mathematics (M) US History (U) Humanities (H) Basic Communication (C) | Natural Science (N) Western Civilization (W) The Arts (A) | Social Science (S) Other World Civilization (O) Foreign Language (L) | |
Community
Colleges are not bound by the 30 credit hour requirement; however, students
who plan to start at a community college and then transfer to a SUNY
school to earn their baccalaureate degree should complete as many general
education courses as they can while they are at the community college. | |||
Completed SUNY General Education requirements submitted to UB on a SUNY
GETA transcript will waive parallel UB General Education requirements.
UB's General Education Requirements are at http://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/policies/degree/gened.shtml | |||
