GE Notes

GE requirements cannot be waived and other Cal Poly Humboldt courses cannot be substituted for approved GE courses. To fulfill a particular requirement, a course must be completed during the academic year in which the GE status is designated in the catalog. Courses that meet outcomes of more than one GE area 1-6, may only be used to satisfy one of those areas.

Goals

Area 4: Social Sciences: Students learn from courses in multiple Area 4 disciplines that human social, political, and economic institutions and behavior are inextricably interwoven. Courses that emphasize skills development and professional preparation are excluded from Area 4. Courses will guide students to accomplish the following content criteria:

1. develop an understanding of problems and issues from the respective disciplinary perspectives; 
2. examine issues in their contemporary as well as historical settings and in a variety of cultural contexts; and
3. explore the principles, methodologies, value systems, and ethics employed in social scientific inquiry.
