General Education - Certificate

In order to earn the certificate, students must complete all general education requirements for Utah State University.
Students may complete USU general education requirements through Concurrent Enrollment (CE) courses in high school. (USU General Education credits may also be awarded for qualifying scores on AP exams. Visit the USU Office of the Registrar website for more information.)
The certificate is transferrable to all institutions in the Utah System of Higher Education.
Concurrent Enrollment credits earned in general education from another institution in the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) are transferable to USU.
At least seven (7) of the general education credits must be completed through Utah State University.
A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in coursework taken to fulfill certificate requirements.
