Double Counting of Courses

IV. Double Counting of Courses
Many courses satisfy more than one general education requirement. That does not necessarily imply that a student may use a course to satisfy all of those requirements. The following guidelines apply:

  • The Journeys course may not be used to satisfy Learning Domain requirements, Capacities requirements, or major or minor requirements;
  • A course used to satisfy a Capacities requirement may also be used to satisfy either a Challenges of the Contemporary World or Learning Domains requirement;
  • A course with two or more Learning Domain codes may be used to satisfy only one Learning Domain requirement;
  • A course with a Challenges of the Contemporary World code and a Learning Domain code may be used to satisfy either the Challenges requirement or the Learning Domain requirement, but not both;
  • Courses taken to satisfy major or minor requirements may also be used to satisfy general education requirements; subject to the restrictions stated above;
  • In the case of multiple-coded courses, a student may elect to change which code the student wants to apply for satisfaction of the General Education Requirements. This change can occur at any time before graduation;
  • The Learning Domain requirements must be satisfied by seven courses from seven different disciplines as distinguished by the first four letters of the course identifier;
  • Course credits received by Advanced Placement (AP) exam, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), or International Baccalaureate (IB) exam may not be used to satisfy Learning Domain or Collegiate Center requirements.
