UMCP Gen Ed RTP Note

Update provided by Andrea Milo on 8/8/2013

Good news, on all of the Fall 2012 ARTSYS UMD, RTP’s-- there is a note that we hope makes it clear to students that our general education program will transfer neatly to UMD. The note is as follows:

The University of Maryland, College Park, requires students to complete a minimum of 40 credits of general education. Students transferring to the University who have completed their general education requirements at another Maryland public institution of higher education will be considered to have completed their general education requirements with the exception of an upper-level writing course and any additional credits necessary to complete the minimum number of general education credits.

This is a reminder to students that if they complete the gen ed program they don’t have to click through each “area” and limit their choices to those courses that are listed.

Since the UMD’s program is 40 credits and our AA gen ed is 34 (with a 3 credit health) that will leave them with two gen ed courses after they transfer to UMD.

Please spread the word and remember to point this out to students!
