University Studies Requirements


University Studies Components

The University Studies program, along with study in the major, is designed to assist students in achieving the Citizen Scholar Objectives. The program consists of two sets of requirements: General Education Requirements and Depth Education Requirements.

Transfer Students

Students who have received an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree at any institution within the Utah System of Higher Education, or at another institution with which USU has an articulation agreement, will be considered to have fulfilled the General Education portion of the University Studies Requirements, but must still complete the Depth Education Requirements.

Students who transfer to Utah State University with less than an Associate degree (and have not completed the General Education requirements) or with an Associate of Applied Science degree will have their General Education courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis and may be required to take any additional courses necessary to satisfy the General Education requirements at Utah State University. However, if these students have taken equivalent General Education courses at the sending institution, these courses will be accepted toward satisfying General Education requirements at Utah State University.

Courses approved as fulfilling General Education requirements at a Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) institution will be acceptable to Utah State University as satisfying comparable General Education requirements. Coursework acceptability at other institutions will be determined by the student's major department at Utah State University.

Coursework taken to fulfill requirements other than General Education will be reviewed by the appropriate department within Utah State University. Coursework acceptability will be determined by the student's major department at Utah State University.

Utah State University will require students to satisfy the Breadth American Institutions requirement if an equivalent course has not been completed. While the University generally accepts completed associate degrees as completion of the General Education portion of University Studies Requirements at Utah State University, advisors are required to review the associate degree for certain general education categories, such as life science, physical science, etc. If the transcript from the transfer school does not have the required areas covered to meet USU standards, students will be asked to take a class at USU to complete these areas.


General Education Requirements (30-34 credits)

USU's General Education program consists of two sets of requirements: Competency and Breadth.

Competency Requirements (9-10 credits)

The Citizen Scholar Objectives propose that students should be able to communicate effectively, utilize quantitative methods, make appropriate use of technology, and function effectively in groups. The competency requirements are structured to develop these skills.

Communications Literacy (CL1 and CL2) (6 credits)

ENGL 1010 (CL1) Introduction to Writing: Academic Prose (3)

Or one of the following exams:
ACT English Test: Score of 29 or higher
SAT Verbal Test: Score of 640 or higher
AP English Language Test: Score of 3 or higher
CLEP English Composition Test: Score of 50 or higher
CLEP Freshman College Composition Test: Score of 53 or higher
IBO English A1 Test: Score of 5 (satisfies both CL1 and CL2)

And
ENGL 2010 (CL2) Intermediate Writing: Research Writing in a Persuasive Mode (3)

Or the following exam:
IBO English A1 Test: Score of 5 (satisfies both CL1 and CL2)

Quantitative Literacy (QL) (3-4 credits)

One of the following courses:
MATH 1030 (QL) Quantitative Reasoning (3)
MATH 1050 (QL) College Algebra (4)
STAT 1040 (QL) Introduction to Statistics (3)

Or
One Mathematics or Statistics course requiring MATH 1050 as a prerequisite, such as MATH 1100, 1210, 1220; or STAT 2300

Or one of the following exams:
ACT Math Test: Score of 25 or higher
SAT Math Test: Score of 580 or higher
AP Calculus AB Test: Score of 3 or higher
AP Calculus BC Test: Score of 3 or higher
CLEP Calculus Test: Score of 50 or higher
CLEP College Algebra Test: Score of 50 or higher
IBO Mathematics Test: Score of 5

Computer and Information Literacy (CIL) (0 credits)

Students must pass competency exams in computer and information literacy. Communications Literacy, Quantitative Literacy, and Breadth courses associated with General Education are intended to further develop these skills.

The Computer and Information Literacy requirement includes six exams:
1. Information Law and Ethics
2. Information Resources
3. Document Processing
4. Operating Systems
5. Spreadsheets
6. Electronic Presentations

Students must score 70 percent or higher on each exam to pass. A student has met the requirement only after he or she has passed all six examinations. There is no college credit associated with this requirement. While some college credit classes teach the required skills for the CIL exams, simply passing any class does not meet the requirement. Only by passing all of the six CIL tests is the CIL requirement met. It is strongly suggested that students complete the CIL requirement during their freshman year.

There is a $30 fee associated with this exam. There is no limit to the number of times a student can take each test. Once a test is passed, a student may not retake that test. After all tests are passed and the fee is paid, the CIL requirement will be posted to the student's transcript.

Breadth Requirements (18-20 credits)

General Education breadth requirements are intended to introduce students to the nature, history, and methods of different disciplines; and to help students understand the cultural, historical, and natural contexts shaping the human experience. Breadth courses also focus on the important cultural, socio-economic, scientific, and technological issues of today’s global community.

Students must take a minimum of 18 total credits, including at least one course from each of the six categories shown below.

At least two of the six breadth courses must be University Studies courses (USU 1300, 1320, 1330, 1340, 1350, and 1360). Students enrolled in the Honors Program may substitute HONR 1300H, 1320H, 1330H, 1340H, 1350H, and 1360H for USU 1300, 1320, 1330, 1340, 1350, and 1360.
