Effective for Fall 2025听

每日大赛入口鈥檚 general education program reflects 每日大赛入口鈥檚 identity as the liberal arts and sciences university of the UNC System. As such, it cultivates students鈥� sense of belonging to and stewardship of local, national, and global places, while delivering a transformative education based on the liberal arts tradition of free and open inquiry, ethical reasoning, and interpersonal growth.

每日大赛入口鈥檚 general education curriculum begins with a first-year experience that introduces students to campus, the local region, and the foundations of a liberal arts education.
Students hone these liberal arts skills and competencies by taking six Disciplinary Foundations courses, where they acquire a breadth of knowledge about different academic disciplines and
methodologies to supplement their in-depth study of a major. These disciplinary courses ensure that students have the opportunity to explore and experience varied content, methodologies, and
approaches from across campus, all while fulfilling SLO鈥檚 that will aid and support them in their majors and future careers. Students then reflect on their place within the United States and the
world in two Interdisciplinary Intensive courses that challenge them to examine the nation鈥檚 democratic ideals (FAD) and think critically about their roles as global citizens (Senior-Year Seminar).

Courses approved by the faculty to satisfy the specific requirements of the Core Curriculum may be found below. The course credit hours listed below for each requirement are stated as the minimum credit hours required. Descriptions of these individual requirements may be found in the听. We recommend you use听听to track your course requirements.

Note: In accordance with UNC System Office policy, the core curriculum is considered fulfilled for any student who has earned an AA or AS degree from a North Carolina Community College. This does not include the Senior-Year Seminar course (SYS 478).听
