Notes:

EXCERPT FROM 2008-2009 ACADEMIC CATALOG: GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR B.A./B.S.
The General Education curriculum represents the College faculty’s intellectual consensus on that broad course of study that constitutes the foundation of a solid liberal arts education. Organized into eight areas and two Across-the-Curriculum areas, General Education requirements may
be completed by University of Mary Washington coursework, by approved equivalent transfer coursework, or by equivalent Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge A Level Examination credit as defined by the most current AP-IB-Cambridge Policy. No General Education coursework may be completed on a Pass/Fail basis. Any modifications in course offerings appear in the Official Schedule of Courses. To fulfill General Education requirements, a course must be designated as a General Education course for the semester and section in which it is offered.

* NOTMJ means credit will be applied to your degree, but not as a one-to-one UMW course equivalency because UMW does not teach such a course. The NOTMJ course(s) counts in your general elective credits, but do not satisfy any requirements for the major..  Although Modern Foreign Language courses transfer as general elective credit, they will satisfy the goal 7 foreign language requirement.

**MATH HL - If a student would like to receive credit for UMW's MATH-200, a syllabus must be provided for re-evaluation by Department Chair.

NOTE: The University of Mary Washington accepts only Highler Learning test scores of 5 or higher.
