Preamble
The University of Montana-Missoula's General Education Program provides a broad academic base that supports both undergraduate learning at the University of Montana-Missoula and continued learning following graduation. While the General Education Program offers students considerable flexibility in selecting courses, it has a set of common educational objectives for all students.
In accordance with the mission of the University of Montana-Missoula, these objectives are to develop competent and humane individuals who are informed, ethical, literate, and engaged citizens of local and global communities. Students should become acquainted with issues facing contemporary society, participate in the creative arts, develop an understanding of science and technology, cultivate an appreciation of the humanities, and examine the history of different American and global cultures. Upon completion of the general education requirements students should be able to articulate ideas orally and in writing, understand and critically evaluate tangible and abstract concepts, and employ mathematical and other related skills appropriate to a technologically focused society.
In summary, the General Education Program is designed to provide a high quality intellectual foundation that accommodates all UM students whether in liberal arts or professional programs. This foundation will be reinforced, expanded, and refined as students continue through their course of study. Students are encouraged to prepare for productive roles in their chosen fields by cultivating civic awareness vital to the greater community and a democratic society. The acquired skills will allow students to examine critically the human experience and achieve genuine confidence in their knowledge and abilities. For the General Education Program to accomplish its goals, students must assume primary responsibility for their growth and education.
Overview
To earn a baccalaureate degree, all students must complete successfully, in addition to any other requirements, the following General Education Requirements (GERs).
All General Education courses must be at least 3 credits, must be introductory and foundational, and have no more than one pre-requisite. The General Education Committee may allow exceptions for upper-division courses, courses fewer than three credits, and for courses with more than one prerequisite if the proposing unit can justify such an exception.
Some courses may satisfy both the Writing Across the Curriculum requirement (1.2) and one of the Groups IV through XI. Some courses may satisfy both Group IX and one of the Groups IV through VIII. Some courses may satisfy both Group X and one of the Groups IV through VIII.
Many of the general education courses listed below require prerequisites be met before registration. Prerequisites are listed in
individual course descriptions
NOTE: All courses taken to satisfy General Education Requirements must be taken for a traditional letter grade and must be passed with a grade of C- or better.
Students are cautioned that approved courses may change from year to year. To be used for General Education credit, a course must be listed as approved in the academic catalog for the academic year during which the course was taken.

Group II: Mathematics
Mathematical literacy implies an appreciation of the beauty of mathematics, an ability to apply mathematical reasoning, and an understanding of how mathematics and statistics are used in many arenas. Mathematical literacy may be attained through the study of the properties of numbers, mathematical modeling, geometry, data analysis and probability, with the overarching goal of learning mathematical reasoning and problem solving.
Mathematical literacy cannot be achieved in a single course. However, for the purposes of general education, the mathematical literacy requirement can be met by any one of the following:
achieving a grade of C- or better in one of the following courses which address different aspects of mathematical literacy:

or a mathematics course of 3 or more credits for which one of these is a prerequisite.
Achieving a score of 50 or better on the CLEP College Algebra Test, the CLEP College Precalculus Test, or the CLEP College Mathematics Test.
Passing the Mathematical Literacy Examination administered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences. To qualify to take the Mathematical Literacy Examination, a student must have achieved a score of 630 or better on the SAT Math exam or a score of 28 or better on the ACT Math exam. A student may take the Mathematical Literacy Examination only once. Further details are available from the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
Students must complete the mathematical literacy requirement by the time they have earned 30 credits; if not, they must register for a mathematical sciences course every semester until they have completed the requirement. Because many other courses at the university assume some mathematical literacy, it is strongly recommended that all students complete their mathematical literacy requirement as soon as possible.
Upon completion of the mathematical literacy requirement, a student will be able to effectively apply mathematical or statistical reasoning to a variety of applied or theoretical problems.
Group III: Modern and Classical Languages
The study of language is a core component of a liberal arts education. Students must complete the first-year sequence of a language or demonstrate comparable proficiency to fulfill the General Education language requirement (test-out provisions apply).
The language requirement can be met in any of the following ways:
by achieving a C- or better in a second-semester language course offered at the University of Montana (see list of courses below);
by achieving a grade of C- or better in a language course numbered 201 or above at the University of Montana (see list of courses below);
by presenting a transcript record of completion with a grade of C- or better of a second- semester (or more advanced) language course at an accredited college or university;
by achieving an appropriate score on a placement exam administered by the offering department;
by receiving verification of an appropriate level of proficiency in any other natural language in collaboration with the department of World Languages and Cultures. Note that the student's native language, if it is not English, can be used to fulfill this requirement.
Upon completion of the Modern and Classical Languages requirement, the student will have a basic functional knowledge of a second natural language sufficient to:
read and write if the language is classical, such as Latin or classical Greek;
speak and aurally comprehend, if the language does not have a written tradition, such as Salish;
perform all four skills (speaking, aural comprehension, reading, and writing) if the language is modern and has a written tradition, such as Japanese or French;
demonstrate both receptive (visual comprehension) and expressive (manual production) proficiency if the language is American Sign Language.
The courses listed below require prerequisites be met before registration. The prerequisites for the following courses are listed in the individual course descriptions.
