General Education Program

 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.

The new General Education Program (GEP) for undergraduates at N.C. State is effective beginning Summer II, 2009. The GEP will apply to students entering NC State Summer II, 2009 and later. Students entering prior to Summer II must satisfy the General Education Requirements (GER) in effect at the time of their entrance to NC State.

Students should consider the GEP web site the authoritative source for approved courses and requirements. http://www.ncsu.edu/uap/academic-standards/gep/index.html
