General Studies (Gen St)
(Nondepartmental)
The prefix General Studies is used to designate certain courses which
are either nondepartmental in their administration or are designed to serve
the general education needs of students outside the department responsible
for the course. Most of the course work of the general education program
will remain the immediate responsibility of the several departments, and
the adequacy of the program for each student will be the responsibility
of the guidance and counseling services.
