GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

The program of General Education comprises those learning experiences common to all students at Dallas Baptist University.

Traditionally, General Education requirements are designed to develop the basic understanding and skills needed by broadly educated men and women in a democratic society. At Dallas Baptist University, General Education requirements include 40-43 hours of common core coursework, where students acquire learning experiences across many academic disciplines, but always with a view toward faith integration.

 Students will also take an additional 12 to 14 hours of general studies coursework customized to their degree to further satisfy General Education requirements.

Each discipline may specify the courses listed within the discipline that may be used to satisfy the General Education requirements. Course options that fulfill General Education requirements may vary by degree program. Students should consult their specific degree plan to determine which courses are approved to satisfy General Education Requirements.
