Many majors have special general studies requirements.
Consult your adviser. A major portion of a student's first and second year studies is a common curriculum of forty-eight hours called the general studies program. The general studies program is designed to provide a fundamental basis for advanced studies by providing educational programs that enable students to read, write, compute, speak effectively and think critically. General studies courses may not be used in meeting requirements for both an academic major or minor and general studies. Requirements for the general studies program may change without notice because of the Alabama Statewide Articulation Program.
