A major portion of a
student’s first and second year studies is a common curriculum of hours called
the General Studies program. These
courses are designed to provide the student with a fundamental basis for
advanced studies as well as a broad knowledge of the arts and sciences. These
listed courses reflect decisions of Alabama’s Articulation and General Studies
Committee known at the time of printing. All
students entering TSUD and those planning to transfer to another institution
should check Area V Major Specific Courses for the program at the institution
from which they will graduate. These
Area V General Studies requirements can vary among institutions. General Studies
courses may not be used in meeting requirements for an academic major or minor
except as noted in specific programs. General Studies courses may not be taken
by independent study. ENG 1101, ENG 1102, and the General Studies mathematics
requirements must be completed during the first 30 hours attempted with Troy
State University Dothan. At the beginning of
each Academic Division section listed in this Bulletin, a comprehensive listing
of the General Studies requirements for majors in that academic division is
provided. If certain majors require specific General Studies courses, this is
noted in the General Studies requirements listing for that particular major. Statement
of Purpose for General Studies serves
as the core program for the baccalaureate (undergraduate) degree.
Courses in the program are designed to give students an appreciation of
the importance of mathematics, communications, the humanities, and the social
and natural sciences to their past, present, and future.
The purposes of the program are to enable students to see the
interrelationships of all of the disciplines in problem solving; to participate
as responsible, informed citizens in an ever-changing society; to accept
education as a lifelong process; and to enable them to lead satisfying personal
lives.
