What are the Gen Ed Requirements?
General Education requirements are a set of course designations selected to provide experiences that lead directly to the achievement of the General Education learning objectives by a student who completes them. The Gen Ed requirements have changed for students enrolled at UMass fall 2010 or later. To see a listing of Gen Ed requirements for students enrolled prior to fall 2010 and for students enrolled fall 2010 or later, go to Fulfilling the Requirements. Gen Ed requirements for transfer students enrolled fall 2010 or later may vary from the requirements for freshmen. Transfer students should consult their Academic Requirements Record (ARR) and/or an advisor for clarification.
