General Education Courses: Enrolled in July 2021 and After
Learn more about the TESU General Education Program
In addition to TECEPs and courses, credit in general education areas may be earned through other non-college developed exams.
General education courses are organized into four main categories. Some courses can be used to satisfy requirements in more than one category, but each course may only be used once in a degree. Some areas of study require specific courses to satisfy degree requirements. TESU has an institutional requirement that all students take SOS-1100 to fulfill the Information Literacy requirement. You are encouraged to work with an academic advisor to plan your general education and area of study requirements.
