University Requirements

Online Learning

Each student is required to take at least one online course. For more information about the online requirement please visit the Online Learning section found in the Graduation & Transfer section of the catalog or visit http://web.byui.edu/Catalog/2005-2006/generalEducation.htm.

Other online course information is available at http://www2.byui.edu/insttech/online.htm. A list of online courses is available at http://www2.byui.edu/insttech/OnlineCourses/onlinecalendar.htm (select a semester or term).

GE Requirements

Students with strong math backgrounds may choose to take Math 112 without first completing Math 110 and Math 111. After passing Math 112, the additional five math credits required for graduation may be received by applying for vertical credit. It is highly recommended, however, that those planning to attend graduate school take additional math classes, including Math 113, instead of using vertical credit. Students must have a minimum grade of C- in the Biological Science and the Physical Science requirements.
