Course List
For an explanation of
the Liberal Studies Program, please visit the
Liberal Studies Homepage
It is highly recommended that you
consult with your advisor when selecting courses to fulfill your liberal
studies requirements. Some majors require courses that fulfill both
liberal studies and major requirements. Some majors also recommend sets
of liberal studies courses that compliment the major coursework.
English (4
units)
ENG 105 Critical Reading and Writing in the
University Community (4)
To meet the 4 unit English
composition requirement, you take ENG 105 (4 units), which offers you a
valuable seminar experience during your first year at NAU.
You may also meet the English composition
requirement by completing at another accredited university or community
college English 101 and 102 (6 units), or equivalents, with a grade of C
or better.
If you enter NAU with an ACT score of 23 or
higher or a verbal SAT of 530 or higher or if you are a transfer student
and have completed English 101 or equivalent, you are eligible to take
the composition placement exam. If your score on this exam is
sufficiently high, you receive 2 units of credit toward graduation and
take ENG 205, in which you can earn another 2 units, for a total of 4
units. If you receive a score of 4 on either the AP English Language and
Composition Exam or the English Literature and Composition Exam, you
receive 2 units toward graduation and take ENG 205. (Please note that
you cannot combine the 2 units for each exam to complete the English
foundation requirement. Instead, you must complete ENG 205.) If your
score on the placement exam is insufficient, you must take ENG 105 at
NAU.
For more information, see Placement Exams in
the section titled Undergraduate Course, Enrollment, and Credit Policies
in the NAU Academic Catalog, or contact the English Composition office
(Liberal Arts Building, room 303; 928-523-6842).
Mathematics
(3 units)
MAT 114 Quantitative Reasoning (3)
To meet the 3 unit Mathematics
foundation requirement, you take MAT 114 or any other current NAU (or
equivalent transfer) course of at least 3 units with a MAT or STA
prefix—except MAT 101X, 102X, 108, or 150 (or equivalent).
In addition, you may use any MAT or STA
course listed as a requirement in your major or minor—except MAT 101X,
102X, 108, or 150—to fulfill this 3-unit mathematics foundations
requirement. The course must have a MAT or STA prefix to fulfill the
Mathematics foundation requirement. If your major doesn't require a
specific mathematics course, we suggest you take MAT 114 to satisfy the
Mathematics foundation requirement; however, consult with your advisor
to determine the most appropriate mathematics course for your major.
Please note that you can’t count the course
you use for the Mathematics foundation requirement toward the liberal
studies distribution requirements.
Distribution
Requirements (28 units)
Students must take
courses in each of the four distribution blocks: Aesthetic and Humanistic Inquiry [AHI]
6 units,
Cultural Understanding [CU] 6 units, Science [LAB/SAS] 7 units (must include at
least one lab science), and Social and Political
Worlds [SPW] 6 units. Additionally, students must also take one additional
course from any distribution block (3 units), also referred to as "Liberal
Studies Elective".
The First Year Seminar is an optional topics
course approved for credit within one of the distribution blocks or as
the “Liberal Studies Elective.” This option is available to and
recommended for students with fewer than thirty units.
The First Year Seminar will bring the best
faculty teacher-scholars on campus together with first year students in
small enrollment classes to explore rich and engaging topics related to
faculty interests and current issues. Through this experience,
communities will be established among the Seminar students, strong
mentoring relationships formed with Seminar faculty, and students will
learn about research opportunities.
Please be aware that you can’t use courses
with the course prefix of your major to meet liberal studies
distribution requirements. However, you may use courses with the course
prefix of your minor or second major.
