Note:

A student must take one GE2 course. A GE2 course must be from the same discipline as one of the GE1 courses previously taken (e.g., a GE1 English course and a GE2 English course). A GE2 course builds upon knowledge from a previous GE1 course and provides depth in an area of interest outside a student’s major. Some GE2 courses have a prerequisite. Students should consult the catalog descriptions for courses that interest them to determine whether this might be the case.
