<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Is a Speech class required to graduate from UF, or any university for that matter?</p>
<p>I need to know to see if i take the class with Dual Enrollment to avoid it in college :P</p>
<p>I’ve never taken a speech class in my life, and don’t intend to.</p>
<p>Haha, thanks! I’m guessing that’s a no, then? My counselor keeps saying its mandatory and crap and blah blah, but I don’t see it anywhere on UFs site. Just “Composition” classes.</p>
<p>It depends on the academic track, so based on your major of choice you need to see if UF makes it mandatory. I’m going under the pre-pharmacy track at UF and it’s mandatory for me.</p>
<p>Oh, I see. Well I’m going for Computer Engineering. I’m on the ECE page of the UF website and it says for General Education that 3 credits of “Composition” is needed for the College of Engineering… but it doesn’t say speech. Am I looking in the wrong place?</p>
<p>UF calls speech “SPC 2600 Public Speaking” so if you don’t see it under the requirements, I don’t think you’ll have to worry about taking it!</p>
<p>Ahh, thanks! I’ll just show the website to my guidance counselor so he can see.</p>
<p>Computer Engineers don’t take speech. My roommate is a comp eng and he has taken exactly one english class, tech writing (he got comp credit from ap).</p>
<p>Thanks Zaersz, I too plan to get Composition credit from my AP exams.</p>
<p>One more question, my guidance counselor said something about that we have to have 2 classes in humanities with “6000 words or more of writing” but I’m not sure. He said that it’s called Gordon Rule classes. Any help? On the ECE website of UF it just says 6-9 credits of Humanities so I don’t know.</p>
<p>UF does have Gordon Rule, but if you’re coming in with AP it probably won’t be an issue.</p>

<p>Alright so basically I need 4 classes with 6000 words of writing, right? I’m pretty sure I passed AP Language and Composition this year. And I passed APWH last year. So that will already be 12,000 words of writing. </p>
<p>So for dual enrollment I should pick 2 classes that offer 6000 words or more? </p>
<p>And for my APWH score I didn’t send it to UF. I took it last year but lost the student packet for that year’s test. Is it too late to send my APWH score? If not, how can I send it if I lost my student packet :?</p>
