    A student may propose substituting additional courses in one general education area for work in another if such a substitution would contribute in a meaningful way to the student's overall program. The expectation in most cases is that a student would use this flexibility to strengthen those general education areas not covered extensively by the student's major or majors.

    There is no total credit requirement in general education for Honors College members.
