Background Information
Undergraduate students in CLAS must complete a minimum of 3 s.h. in the General Education area of Quantitative or Formal Reasoning (QFR), one of the CLAS degree requirements.

GE courses may be offered by any department or program, regardless of discipline, as long as the proposed course meets the GE comprehensive and QFR outcomes while also using the required GE course attributes. A proposal process is used to ensure courses meet these outcomes and standards.
