General Education Requirements

<p>I know students in Georgetown College have certain general education requirements. But do students in the business school, who also have a business core, have to complete those same general education requirements?</p>

<p>I don’t know if they are identical, but students in the business school have to do a number of liberal arts requirements like science, 2 ethics/philosophy, 2 theology, econ, math, writing – I’m sure there are others that I can’t think of. AP credits count for some, although often go towards liberal arts electives.</p>

<p>yeah these are the requirements for the college:</p>

<p>Two humanities and writing courses
Two history courses
Two math/science courses
Two social science courses (except B.S. majors)
Foreign language through the intermediate level
Two theology courses
Two philosophy courses</p>

<p>so it seems like the business school students have to complete those and the business core</p>

<p>Here are the business school liberal arts requirements. There are some slight differences when compared to the college. I don’t see the language or science requirement, and there specifically are two econ courses as well as calculus required.</p>

<p>THE CORE REQUIREMENTS</p>

<p>The Liberal Arts Core and the McDonough School of Business Core requirements are as follows:</p>

<p>Liberal Arts Core (18 courses):</p>

<p>Economics
2 semesters</p>

<p>Humanities and Writing
2 semesters</p>

<p>Mathematics (Calculus)
1 semester</p>

<p>Philosophy/Ethics
2 semesters</p>

<p>Theology
2 semesters</p>

<p>History/Government/Classics
2 semesters</p>

<p>Liberal Arts Electives
7 semesters</p>

<p>Thank you, this is really helpful.</p>
