Other Requirements (A combination of university, college, and departmental requirements):
First-year Experience............................... 1 credit
Communication (English & Speech).......... 12 credits
Wellness................................................ 2 credits
Humanities & Social Sciences.................24 credits

The college requires 24 credits in either Humanities and Fine Arts, or Social and Behavioral Sciences. The courses that may be used to satisfy these 24 credits are any of those approved for the University General Education Requirements except for second year foreign language courses. The General Education Requirements specify that of these 24, at least 6 must be in Humanities and Fine Arts, and at least 6 must be in Social and Behavioral Sciences. In addition, the University General Education requirements include a Cultural Diversity requirement and a Global Perspectives requirement. The Global Perspectives category is satisfied by the foreign language credits earned. The Cultural Diversity requirement is normally satisfied by selecting, among the 24-credit total, specific courses that have been approved to satisfy this requirement. Other Credits, as needed, to total 122 (required for graduation).

The General Education requirements in Communication include English 110 and 120. Entering students with a composite ACT score of 21 or higher are encouraged to register for English 120, and a student who completes 120 with a C or higher will receive credits for English 110 with a grade of P. The communication requirements also include an upper-division writing class. The Computer Science department has designated English 321, Writing in the Technical Professions, and English 324, Writing in the Sciences, as the two upper-division courses that will satisfy this requirement.

Note: if you consult the General Education Requirements, or the College requirements for a B.A. as described in the NDSU Bulletin, you may see requirements that appear to be slightly different from those described above, as well as other categories of requirements, such as Quantitative Reasoning and Science & Technology. However, if you satisfy the requirements described above, you should have any of these other requirements satisfied automatically.
