GE Area B Notes:

Where courses exceed 3 units, only 3 units count towards GE requirements.

GE requirements cannot be waived and other HSU 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 A-F, may only be used to satisfy one of those areas.

Goals

Upon completing this requirement, students will be able to:

use skills beyond the level of intermediate algebra to solve problems through quantitative reasoning
apply mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning to problems.
