Guide Information Quick
Bookmarks A minimum of thirty-five hours of liberal studies are
required of all undergraduate students seeking their first baccalaureate degree from NAU.
Courses must be selected from the approved list of liberal studies courses, and
must be outside of the academic discipline of the student's major, as determined by course
prefix. The Foundation
Requirements are designed to help students develop competence in writing, critical
reading, and mathematical reasoning and computation. The remaining liberal studies credits
are taken from various distribution blocks, which allow students to gain a broad
educational base. Students who have completed the 35-hour liberal studies requirement will
then complete the University Requirements, which consist of a junior-level writing
requirement and senior capstone and will be satisfied through completion of major
requirements. Students should contact their major department for more information about
the University Requirements.
University Colloquium (3 hours)
UC 101 is no longer a
graduation requirement for entering freshman effective Fall 2004. Foundation Requirements [F] (7 hours)
NAU's English composition requirement consists of ENG 105 (4 hours). ENG 105 and the University Colloquium work in tandem to offer students two seminar experiences during their first year at NAU. English 105 cannot be taken during the same semester as the University Colloquium. The composition requirement may also be satisfied by successfully completing (C or better) ENG 101 and 102, or their equivalents, at an accredited university or community college for a total of 6 credit hours. Entering students with high standardized test scores may take the composition placement exam (23 or higher on the ACT; 530 or higher on the SAT). For more information, see the section entitled "Placement Exams" or contact the English Composition office at (928) 523-6842. Transfer students who have completed ENG 101, or its equivalent, with a grade of B or higher, may take the placement exam. Passing this exam results in 2 credits toward graduation and entrance into ENG 205 for 2 credit hours (4 total). Contact the English Composition office for more information.
Students satisfy the Liberal Studies Foundation requirement in mathematics by completing any current NAU course (or equivalent transfer course) carrying at least three hours of credit with an MAT or STA prefix except MAT 101X, 102X, 108, or 150 (or equivalent), including any such course specifically listed as a requirement for a student's major or minor. Students in majors that do not require a specific mathematics course are advised to take MAT 114 to satisfy their mathematics foundation requirement. Students should consult with their academic advisor concerning what mathematics course is appropriate for their major. Please note that the course used for the mathematics foundation requirement cannot also count toward the distribution studies requirement. Distribution Requirements (25 Hours) Students must take the maximum hours in 3 of the 4 variable (3-6 hour) distribution blocks: Aesthetic and Humanistic Inquiry [AHI], Cultural Understanding [CU], Science/Applied Science [SAS], Social and Political Worlds [SPW].

courses: Fall 1999-Summer 2007 Liberal Studies Course List
