General Education Program (GEP) Requirements in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Visual & Performing Arts, and Interdisciplinary

Perspectives
A total of seven courses (21 credit hours) from the appropriate GEP category list is required. These courses may be taken in any order. All of the courses must be completed for a letter grade; none of the seven courses may be taken as pass / fail or credit only grading. Some courses will have a USD or GK indicator. The USD or GK code identifies a course that will not only fulfill the specific GEP category in which it is listed but will also satisfy either the U.S. Diversity (USD) or Global Knowledge (GK) GEP co-requisites. Courses which will satisfy only the co-requisite are indicated as co-req only. The General Education Program (GEP) for undergraduates at N.C. State took effect Summer II, 2009. The GEP applies to students who entered NC State Summer II, 2009 and later. Students entering prior to Summer II 2009 must satisfy the general education requirements (GEP or GER) as specified by their degree plan. Students should consider the GEP web site the authoritative source for approved courses and requirements.
