Speech and Computer class requirement?

<p>Before you graduate from FSU, do you have to have taken a computer(CPG) class and a speech(SPC) class? Or is that to get an AA from FSU?</p>

<p>I think all students have to fulfill those requirements. But I’m not 100% sure.</p>

<p>I am going to be a high school/AA graduate, and I know I will get exempt from liberal studies reqs, but I don’t know if I will be exempt from the computer requirement (I already took a speech class).</p>

<p>YES a speech and computer course or equivalent are required.</p>

<p>COMPUTER REQUIREMENT
All undergraduates at Florida State University must demonstrate basic computer skills competency prior to graduation. The computer competency requirement may be satisfied in one of two ways:</p>

<ol>
<li>Earn a grade of “C–” or better in a course(s) that has been approved by the Undergraduate Policy Committee for computer skills competency in the major, or</li>
<li>Have a prior course, passed with a grade of “C–” or better, certified by the student’s major department as equivalent to the courses approved for computer skills competency in the major.</li>
</ol>

<p>SPEECH REQUIREMENT
A student will satisfy the requirement for competency in oral communication in either of two ways:</p>

<p>  1. Petition to have prior demonstration of oral communication competency accepted in place of an approved Florida State University course. Students may petition the Office of Undergraduate Studies to have prior demonstrations of oral communication competency accepted in place of a course at Florida State University. Acceptable substitutes may include but not be limited to:</p>

<ul>
<li>A grade of “B” or above in a high school oral communication or speech class;</li>
<li>Verified successful participation in a forensic or debate program in high school, community college, or college; or</li>
<li>Passing with a “C–” or higher a course in public speaking or argumentation in another college or university (including community college).</li>
</ul>

<p>2. Earn a grade of “C–” or better in a course which has been approved by the Undergraduate Policy Committee for oral communication competence credit:</p>

<ul>
<li>Earn a grade of “C–” or better in a course (1–3 semester hours) in the major or minor that has been certified by the Undergraduate Policy Committee as meeting the standards for oral communication competency; or</li>
<li>Earn a grade of “C–” or better in one of the following courses: SPC 1016, Fundamentals of Speech, or SPC 2600, Public Speaking.</li>
</ul>

<p>So if I get one or both of those out of the way, would it look good on my app?
I’m thinking of taking SPC2060 this summer. They don’t offer it at FS, but it’s called fundamentals of speech. Do you believe it is permissable?</p>

<p>Contact FSU yourself since SPC2600 is listed but not SPC2060
