English must be taken each semester, except the summer, until this requirement is completed. ENGL 1010-ENGL 1020 may not be dropped. Correspondence credit in ENGL 1010-ENGL 1020 will not be accepted.
The prerequisite for ENGL 1020 is a grade of C or better in ENGL 1010, and the prerequisite for a 2000-level English course is a grade of C or better in ENGL 1020. If a transfer student has completed two semesters of composition and has a grade of D in ENGL 1020, then the student must repeat ENGL 1020 before beginning the literature courses. ESL classes do not satisfy the ENGL 1010 and ENGL 1020 communication requirement of the general education core, nor do these courses count toward any degree requirements.
All students must complete six hours of American History except those students who are majoring in Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, General and Mechanical Engineering. If the student has not completed one unit of American History in high school, the student will be required to complete 6 semester hours of American History for the deficiency.

* The School of Human Ecology, Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) concentration has met the standards and criteria required for the Provisional Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) designation from the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR). Beginning in Fall 2016, students who graduate from the School of Human Ecology HDFS curriculum (and have met all CFLE course requirements) now qualify to complete an abbreviated CFLE application process. This program approval does not imply accreditation, but recognizes the inclusion of relevant course work for each of the ten family life content areas needed for the Provisional Certified Family Life Educator designation.
