Comparing Worlds Past and Present

Being able to make comparisons across cultures and across periods of time is a critical interpretive skill for citizens of the 21st century, and gives its force to this rubric of the general education program. Courses listed under this heading include both diachronic and synchronic investigations, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, both liberal arts and pre-professional modes of knowing.

This requirement consists of four credits (one course) chosen from an approved list. Students then take an additional four credits (one course) from either the Comparing Worlds or Mapping the World rubric. In choosing a total of 12 credits from these two rubrics, students must select courses in at least two different disciplines and those disciplines must be different from the student's major discipline(s).

There are two possibilities for transfer students wishing to use previously earned general education credits to fulfill the thematic rubric outlined above.

OPTION I: Establishing an equivalency for an AUP course that carries General Education classification. This is done by completing our substitution paperwork that requires the course’s catalog description, your advisor’s signature, the AUP course’s Department Chair’s signature. Completed paperwork should be submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs.

OPTION II: Some courses that are not direct equivalents could still be suitable for General Education equivalence. Students who would like courses considered should submit full course syllabi for our General Education Committee to review. These can be submitted directly to the Office of Academic Affairs which will take care of all communication between students and the Committee.
