GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND (URI)

The University believes that all undergraduate students, regardless of their degree programs, need experience in the study of fundamentals that builds on the student's previous education and continues through the undergraduate years and beyond. All bachelor's degree students, with the exception of students enrolled in the College of Engineering, follow the same university-wide general education requirements. While general education requirements for all students are selected from the same list of approved courses, there are possible variations based on the student's major. Students should consult specific college and departmental requirements and discuss the requirements with an advisor. In their first semester, all entering freshmen and new transfer students with less than 24 credits are required to take URI 101 Traditions and Transformations: A Freshman Seminar, including community service provided by the Feinstein Enriching America Program The purpose of general education at the University of Rhode Island is to lay a foundation for the lifelong enrichment of the human experience and for a thoughtful and active engagement with the world. This foundation is built on recognition of the complexity of nature, society, and the individual. The objective of general education is to introduce students to the fundamental dimensions of this complexity and to develop an appreciation of different ways of understanding it and different cultural responses to it. Corresponding with these goals, the general education program is divided into the following core areas: English Communication. Six credits in English communication, at least three of which must be in a course designed specifically to improve written communication skills. Fine Arts and Literature. Six credits in courses on artistic and literary expression and interpretation. Foreign Language/Cross-cultural Competence. Six credits or the equivalent in coursework related to communicating across cultures. Letters. Six credits in courses that address wisdom and traditions of the past and present in a global setting. Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning. Three credits in a course on mathematical and quantitative skills and their application. Natural Sciences. Six credits in courses on the interrelationships of the natural world. Social Sciences. Six credits in courses related to the study of human behavior in social, economic, cultural, and political contexts.

Because particular skills are essential to a thoughtful engagement with the world, each course in General Education incorporates opportunities to practice three (3) or more of the following skills: reading complex texts, writing effectively, speaking effectively, examining human differences, using quantitative data, using qualitative data, using information literacy, engaging in artistic activity. In addition, the University has a commitment to providing students with the opportunity to examine diversity within and across national boundaries and requires that at least two of the courses taken as part of a student's general education program must be designated as diversity [D] courses. Only one course in a foreign language may be applied to the diversity requirement. Since these diversity courses may be selected from any of the general education core areas, this requirement does not increase the total number of credits in the general education program. Specific courses that may be used to meet these requirements are listed in the following groups: English Communication: Writing (ECw) BGS 100; ELS 112, 122; HPR 326; WRT 104, 105, 106, 201, 227, 235, 302, 303, 304 [D], 305 [D], 333; General (EC) COM 100 [D], 108, 110 [D], ; ECN 108; LIB 120, 220; PHL 101; SUS 108.

URI GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS BY COLLEGE The chart below summarizes the URI general education requirements by college. Because each college has different requirements, students should consult their academic advisor and URI Catalog when selecting courses. Reference should be made to the URI general education requirements and to the requirements of individual majors.

Please note: although a course may be listed in more than one general education category, it can only be used to meet one requirement.

Students enrolled in the Colleges of Nursing, Pharmacy or Environment & Life Sciences may reduce the credit requirements in Fine Arts & Literature, Foreign Language/Cross-cultural Competence or Letters by 3 credits. To use the chart, first locate the row for the college at the University of Rhode Island in which you intend to enroll; then, read the entries under each column for specific requirements within each area. For specific course listings, refer to the pages following the chart.

GENERAL EDUCATION COURSE EQUIVALENCY GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM AT RHODE ISLAND COLLEGE (RIC) The General Education Program at Rhode Island College consists both of a core curriculum and of distribution requirements. In the core, students must take a set of four related courses which provide an understanding of cultural and historical traditions that shaped the world in which they live and a critical appreciation of values, ideas, and practices which have emerged from these traditions. Courses in the core are writing intensive with an emphasis on critical thinking. In fulfilling distribution requirements, students must take six courses which expand their knowledge by exposure to social and behavioral sciences, to visual and performing arts, and to natural sciences and mathematical systems. The ten courses required of General Education are outlined on the next page. Specific courses in some of the distribution areas may also fulfill requirements in a major, so students planning to transfer to Rhode Island College are urged to read the current catalog and discuss their coursework with an academic advisor. Information on RIC’s general education program can be accessed at www.ric.edu/gened.
