While courses completed in a field of study develop specific knowledge and skills in a chosen profession, general education courses not only enhance awareness of the world and the people in it, but also foster an appreciation ofthe arts and humanities and provide a basic understanding of mathematical and scientific principles.  \nGeneral education courses are required to ensure that all students receive a broad-based education that enhances their ability to describe, interpret, and analyze their world. The primary aims ofthe general education requirement are to create strong citizens, instill a life-long desire for learning, and enrich the human experience. For more information regarding the goals of General Education at LSU, please follow the links on the University Web site through the Faculty Senate to General Education.  \nTo fulfill these requirements, students must complete 39 hours of course work in six major areas:  \n$ English composition (six hours)$ Analytical reasoning (six hours)$ Arts (three hours)  \n$ Humanities (nine hours)  \n$ Natural sciences (nine hours)$ Social sciences (six hours)  \nREGULATIONS  \n$ Students must complete the 39-hour general education requirement prior to graduating from LSU. It is recommended that students complete the requirement during their first four semesters at the University.  \n$ Only those courses on the approved list below, and their honors equivalents, may be used to satisfy the general education requirement.  \n$ No more than six hours of credit taken through correspondence study may be applied to a student's general education requirement.  \n$ An entering student may receive three or six hours of credit in English composition on the basis of ACT scores and/or performance on approved placement tests.  \n$ An entering student may receive credit for one or more of the required mathematics courses on the basis of placement test scores.  \n$ Advanced placement and advanced standing credit may be used to satisfy the general education requirement.  \n$ General education courses will be graded on the AA, @ AB, @ AC, @ AD, @ AF @system. No courses taken on a pass/fail basis will count toward the general education requirement.  \n$ In addition, each student must demonstrate computer literacy in ways deemed appropriate by the faculty of the senior college in which the student is enrolled.  \n$ Appeals for an exception to the general education requirements: A >request for an exception to the general education requirement= must be submitted to the dean of the student=s college using the appropriate form. Scheduling difficulties or allegations of poor advising typically do not constitute a reasonable basis for an appeal. The dean=s evaluation as well as the student=s request must then be submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs. A final decision will be made after consideration by the Faculty Senate Committee on General Education. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain a decision prior to registering for a LSU course intended to substitute for an approved general education course.  \nTRANSFER COURSE APPROVAL  \nDeans are to determine the applicability of transfer courses to a component of LSU's general education requirements.  \nIf the course is deemed to be applicable, and there is no equivalent LSU course, deans are asked to enter a course substitution on the Student Records and Registration database, indicating that the course is accepted for general education credit. Documentation concerning this decision should be kept on file in the college.  \nIf it is determined that a course is equivalent to an LSU course, colleges should notify the Office of Undergraduate Admissions so the Admissions Transfer Table can be updated.  \nIf the college does not approve a transf","cbCaitp8im2hm97d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitp8im2hm97d","pdf",63995,"English","# General Education Requirements\n## Purpose and learning outcomes\n## Credit structure and six major areas\n# Regulations\n## Approved courses and credit limits\n## Placement, AP, and grading rules\n## Computer literacy requirement\n## Exception appeals process\n# Transfer Course Approval\n## LSU general education applicability decisions\n## Petition process for denied transfers\n# Regents' Statewide Articulation\n## Transfer agreement consultation\n# General Education Courses\n## Course designation and star marker\n## Area and course listing","[{\"question\":\"What is the total credit requirement for LSU General Education, and when should it be completed?\",\"answer\":\"Students must complete 39 hours of General Education coursework prior to graduating from LSU, and it is recommended to complete the requirement during the first four semesters.\"},{\"question\":\"Which courses can be used to satisfy the General Education requirement?\",\"answer\":\"Only courses on the approved list below, along with their honors equivalents, may be used to satisfy the General Education requirement.\"},{\"question\":\"How are transfer courses approved for General Education credit?\",\"answer\":\"Deans determine transfer applicability.
