Some general education courses meet more than one type of general education requirement. For example, (GE-Fine Art/CrsClt), indicates that the course may be used to meet either the fine art or the cross-cultural requirement. However, the course cannot be used to satisfy both GE requirements simultaneously. In contrast, a single course may be used to satisfy a GE requirement and a requirement for the major simultaneously. For instance, ART 22200 (GE-Fine Art/CrsClt) is a requirement in the arts management major and can be used to satisfy both the requirement of the major and the GE fine arts requirement.
Note: Although two requirements are fulfilled in this instance, the total number of credits earned is still three, as only one course was taken.
Notes (GE-Eng):
(1) In order to satisfy the GE-ENGL requirement, students must earn at least a C in both ENGL 15000/EPP 15000 Strategies for University Writing and ENGL 17000 Research and Argumentation. This requirement applies also to students who have transferred their English composition courses into Lindenwood University.
(2) Upon completion of ENGL 17000, students are required to successfully complete the Writing Proficiency Assessment. If students do not pass the assessment, they are required to successfully complete the Writing Proficiency Lab (ENGL 21000) prior to graduation. Transfer students are also required to meet this requirement. It is strongly recommended that students complete the writing assessment immediately following the semester in which they complete ENGL 17000.
Notes (GE-CrsClt):
(1) If foreign language courses are selected to meet the requirement, the student must choose two courses with GE-ForLang designations in the same foreign language. However, foreign language GE-CrsClt courses can be combined with other GE-CrsClt courses in other departments to meet the cross cultural requirement.
(2) Native speakers of a foreign language may not satisfy the Culture and Civilization GE requirement by taking courses designated as GE-ForLang if taught in the students' first language. However, they may satisfy this requirement by taking courses designated as GE-CrsClt even if offered in the students' first language.
(3) GE-ForLang courses include elementary, intermediate, conversation and composition, and advanced oral expression and grammar courses.
