The University of Montana-Missoula's General Education Program provides a broad academic base that supports both undergraduate learning at The University of Montana-Missoula and continued learning following graduation. While the General Education Program offers students considerable flexibility in selecting courses, it has a set of common educational objectives for all students.
In accordance with the mission of The University of Montana- Missoula, these objectives are to develop competent and humane individuals who are informed, ethical, literate, and engaged citizens of local and global communities. Students should become acquainted with issues facing contemporary society, participate in the creative arts, develop an understanding of science and technology, cultivate an appreciation of the humanities, and examine the history of different American and global cultures. Upon completion of the general education requirements students should be able to articulate ideas orally and in writing, understand and critically evaluate tangible and abstract concepts, and employ mathematical and other related skills appropriate to a technologically focused society.
In summary, the General Education Program is designed to provide a high quality intellectual foundation that accommodates all UM students whether in liberal arts or professional programs. This foundation will be reinforced, expanded, and refined as students continue through their course of study. Students are encouraged to prepare for productive roles in their chosen fields by cultivating civic awareness vital to the greater community and a democratic society. The acquired skills will allow students to examine critically the human experience and achieve genuine confidence in their knowledge and abilities. For the General Education Program to accomplish its goals, students must assume primary responsibility for their growth and education.
General Education Requirements
To earn a baccalaureate degree, all students must complete successfully, in addition to any other requirements, the following General Education Requirements. (Students who have completed an approved lower-division general education program at an approved Montana institution of higher education should refer to the catalog section on General Education for Transfer Students.
All General Education courses must be at least 3 credits, must be introductory and foundational, and have no more than one pre-requisite. The General Education Committee may allow exceptions for upper-division courses, courses fewer than three credits, and for courses with more than one pre-requisite, if the proposing unit can justify such an exception.
Some courses may satisfy both the "Writing Course" requirement (1.2) and one of the Groups IV through XI.
Some courses may satisfy both Group II and Group III Symbolic Systems.
Some courses may satisfy both Group IX and one of the Groups IV through VIII.
Some courses may satisfy both Group X and one of the Groups IV through VIII. No course may satisfy both Group IX and Group X.
NOTE! ***All courses taken to satisfy General Education Requirements must be taken for a traditional letter grade and must be passed with a grade of C- or better***.
Students are cautioned that approved courses may change from year to year. To be used for General Education credit, a course must be listed as approved in the Class Schedule for the semester a student registers for it.

The ability to write effectively is fundamental to success in academic, professional, and civic endeavors. Specifically, a student should be able to:
Use writing to learn and synthesize new concepts;
Produce focused writing that is developed, logical, and organized;
Compose written documents that are appropriate for a given audience, purpose, and context;
Revise written documents based on constructive feedback;
Develop competence in information literacy, information technology and digital literacy;
Use discipline-specific style and citation conventions;
Demonstrate appropriate English language usage.
Students must satisfy the following four requirements in order:
Composition Course All students must complete WRIT 101 or 201 (ENEX 101, WTS 101, ENEX 200), or an equivalent composition course with a grade of C-minus or better. Students with Language and Composition AP scores of 4 or better are exempted from this requirement.
Entering students are placed into WRIT 095, WRIT 101 or WRIT 201 (WTS 100D, WTS or ENEX 101, or ENEX 200) based on their standardized test scores. Students placed into WTS 100D are provided an opportunity to challenge their placement with specific scores. Students placing into WRIT 201 (ENEX 200) may choose to take WRIT 101 (ENEX 101) instead.
One Writing Course All students, unless exempted, must pass an approved writing course (chosen from the following list of approved courses) before attempting the WPA. Students are exempted from this requirement by transferring more than 27 semester credits at the time of their initial registration at the University.
Upper-Division Writing Proficiency Assessment (WPA) All students (including transfer students) who have completed the composition course requirement, the writing course requirement (unless exempted), and at least 45 semester credits must take the WPA.
The WPA consists of a two-hour proctored examination written in response to a text released two weeks prior to the examination date. The assessment is offered six times annually. Information on the assessment and copies of the text are available at:http://www.umt.edu/udwpa
Students must pass the WPA in order to graduate. The assessment is designed to ensure that the student is prepared for the writing required in upper-division major courses. Students are advised to satisfy the writing proficiency assessment prior to completing the upper-division writing requirement in their major.
Students should note the following:
Students must take the assessment after 45 but no later than 70 credits.
Transfer students may take the assessment concurrently with either their writing course or the writing requirement(s)in their major.
Upper-Division Writing Requirement All students must meet the approved upper-division writing requirements specified by their majors. Students should seek specific information about the upper-division writing requirements in their major in the section of the catalog where information about their chosen major is given.
Students cannot use the same writing course to meet both the approved writing course requirement and the upper-division writing requirement.
The following courses are designated as approved writing courses for 2012-2013. Students are cautioned that approved courses may change from year to year. To be used for General Education, a course must be listed as approved in the catalog and in the Class Schedule for the semester a student registers for it.

Group II Mathematics
Mathematical literacy implies an appreciation of the beauty of mathematics, an ability to apply mathematical reasoning, and an understanding of how mathematics and statistics are used in many arenas. Mathematical literacy may be attained through the study of the properties of numbers, mathematical modeling, geometry, data analysis and probability, with the overarching goal of learning mathematical reasoning and problem solving.
Mathematical literacy cannot be achieved in a single course. However, for the purposes of general education, the mathematical literacy requirement can be met by any one of the following:
Students must complete the mathematical literacy requirement by the time they have earned 30 credits; if not, they must register for a mathematical sciences course every semester until they have completed the requirement. Because many other courses at the university assume some mathematical literacy, it is strongly recommended that all students complete their mathematical literacy requirement as soon as possible.
Upon completion of the mathematical literacy requirement, a student will be able to effectively apply mathematical or statistical reasoning to a variety of applied or theoretical problems.
Group III: Modern and Classical Language
Students must complete successfully the second semester of a Modern and Classical Language at the University of Montana. Courses encompass the comprehensive study of a natural language other than written or spoken contemporary English.
Upon completion of the Modern and Classical Languages sequence, students will have a basic functional knowledge of a second natural language sufficient to:

Group III: Exceptions to the Modern and Classical Language requirement - Symbolic Systems
The majors listed below have been granted exceptions to the Modern and Classical Language requirement. Students graduating in any one of these majors may substitute the symbolic system course or courses designated by the major.
Each of these courses presents the foundations of a symbolic system, defined as a relationship that maps real-world objects, principles and doctrines with abstractions of the real-world.
Symbolic systems facilitate communication in specialized ways but do not comprise a spoken or written language by which members of a culture typically communicate with each other.
Upon completion of a symbolic systems course or courses, students will be able to:

Group X: Indigenous and Global Perspectives (X)
This perspective instills knowledge of diverse cultures in comparative and thematic frameworks. Students are encouraged to cultivate ways of thinking that foster an understanding of the complexities of indigenous cultures and global issues, past and present. Students will learn how geographically and culturally separate parts of the world are linked by various, multiple interactions.
Indigenous studies focus upon "first peoples" and their descendants who derive their cultural communal identities from their long-standing and/or historical habitation of particular places. These courses foster an appreciation for indigenous peoples, their histories and cultures, and their struggles both to maintain their ways of life and gain equal positions in world spheres of power and change.
Global studies investigate how societies and nations interact through human endeavor and /or natural processes. These courses encourage students to relate their knowledge of particular parts of the world, with their individual identities, and to larger trends and issues that affect multiple societies and environments. These include regional, national, and even transnational cultural flows, as well as a multiplicity of environmental processes and economic relationships.
Upon completion of an Indigenous and Global Perspective course, students will be able to:

Students transferring credits from other institutions must meet all requirements by transfer, by examination, or by completing courses at The University of Montana-Missoula.
According to Board of Regents policy, students who can demonstrate that they have completed an approved lower-division general education requirement at an approved Montana institution of higher education will be deemed to have completed general education requirements except for the upper-division writing proficiency assessment and the upper-division writing requirements in their majors.
Transfer students who believe they have completed an approved lower-division general education requirement at another Montana school should request that the registrar of the other school send a letter to the University Registrar’s Office certifying that the requirement has been met.
If students transfer 20 or more approved Montana University System core course credits with their initial registration at UM-Missoula, they may choose to complete the MUS General Education rather than the UM-Missoula General Education requirement
Students governed by the 2006-2007 catalog or later catalogs must earn a traditional letter grade of C- or better in courses used to satisfy General Education (except English composition and the Mathematical Literacy course must be a C or better). Students enrolled in a post-secondary institution prior to autumn 2006 may be eligible to choose an earlier governing catalog. Refer to the Governing Catalog information in the previous section. See index.
Students who have completed a bachelor degree at the University or elsewhere will be presumed to have completed the General Education Requirement.
Admissions & New Student Services will evaluate all transfer credits for General Education credit. Students who wish to appeal that evaluation may petition the Graduation Appeals Subcommittee of the Academic Standards and Curriculum Review Committee, but such petitions must be initiated during the first semester of the student's attendance following that evaluation.
Declaring a Major and Changing a Major
Students indicate on the application for admission the major or majors in which they are interested. Students undecided as to a field of interest may elect to be Undeclared while making program and career decisions. Students must declare a major in a degree granting program prior to completion of 45 credits or after three semesters, whichever occurs first.
Students must complete a major in order to earn a degree or certificate.
Students may change their majors or minors by obtaining the proper approval on a change of major or minor form available from the Registration Counter in Griz Central in the Lommasson Center. Because of enrollment limitations, students must request a change to a program in the College of Technology by completing an application for admission and submitting it to the College. Students whose initial admission was to the College of Technology may change to a major outside the College by submitting an application for admission to Enrollment Services-Admissions & New Student Services in the Lommasson Center.
Students in a bachelor degree program must complete a minimum of 30 credits in their major. Most majors require more.
Students may elect to earn a single degree with more than one major. Students may complete a double major (two majors) or any number of majors. All requirements for the majors must be completed even though students will receive a single degree such as a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Psychology and Sociology. It is only necessary to complete the total credit requirement for a single bachelor degree.
Courses completed to satisfy the requirements of a major also may be applied toward the General Education Requirement if they appear on the list of approved courses at the time they are taken.
Students in programs in the College of Technology complete requirements as listed in the College section of this catalog. See index.
A maximum of 60 credits in the student's major may be counted toward the baccalaureate degree, except some options in Health and Human Performance and Education, majors in Computer Science, and majors in the Schools of Business Administration, College of Visual and Performing Arts, Journalism, Law, The College of Health Professions and Biomedical Sciences and the College of Forestry and Conservation are allowed more. Students with combined majors, as opposed to two majors, are allowed to apply 75 credits in the major.
Courses taken to satisfy the requirements of the major must be completed with a grade of C- or better.
A minimum grade average of 2.00 in all work attempted in the major at The University of Montana-Missoula is required for graduation.
Groups of courses have been identified which lead to a specialization within one major or between two or more majors. These specializations are called options. The names of approved options will be recorded on the permanent records of those students who have satisfactorily completed the requirements as given in the catalog governing their graduation. A student desiring a particular option must satisfy the requirements of the major offering it. If one option is offered within two or more majors, the student must satisfy the requirements of only one.
Only courses listed within the supporting major count toward the 60 credit limitation in the major. Courses in other fields do not count toward the maximum of 60 credits in the major even though they may be required or elected for the options.
If one major has two or more options, a student may satisfy the requirements for more than one option so long as the maximum credit limitations are observed.
Baccalaureate students may elect to complete one or more minors in fields outside their majors. Minors may be in fields unrelated to students' majors or they may be complementary or supportive of majors. A student may not take a minor in the same field of study as his or her major.
A student will not be required to satisfy the requirements of a minor in order to graduate unless that minor is required by the student's major department or school.
Courses completed to satisfy the requirements of a minor also may be applied toward the General Education Requirement if they appear on the list of approved courses at the time they are taken.
To complete a minor, students must earn at least 18 credits in an approved minor listed in this catalog and complete a baccalaureate degree.
Students possessing a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university may earn a minor if they have been accepted by the University as an undergraduate degree student. In addition to meeting minor requirements, students must earn from The University of Montana-Missoula a minimum of 9 credits in the minor field and 15 credits overall.
Courses taken to satisfy the requirements of the major and the minor must be completed with a grade of C- or better. Some majors require a C or higher grade for some of the required courses. Specific information regarding the major requirements can be found in the majors individual section of the catalog.
A minimum grade average of 2.00 in all work attempted in the minor at The University of Montana-Missoula is required for graduation with the minor.
Teaching minors are separate entities from degree minors as described in this section. Teaching minors are identified and requirements listed in the College of Education section of this catalog.
