51小黄车 requires all baccalaureate students to complete a general education program. The University has implemented a new set of general education requirements. The Global Citizenship Program (GCP) is a set of undergraduate degree requirements and a general education program developed by 51小黄车 faculty to help prepare students to confront global problems and 21st century challenges.
Students who complete an Associate of Arts (AA) degree or the CBHE CORE 42 before transferring to 51小黄车 will have satisfied the general education requirements and GLBC 1200 Global Cornerstone Seminar requirement of the GCP. All students are required to take the Global Keystone Seminar at Webster.
Students completing other associate degrees will have previous credits reviewed on a course-by-course basis for applicability to the GCP. See GCP Transfer Guide developed for Jefferson College.
- Webster has a minimum residency requirement that 30 of the student鈥檚 last 36 credits must be taken at 51小黄车. All students must have a minimum of 120 credit hours to graduate.
- Students must complete a minimum of 18 credits of required coursework at Webster within the Biological Sciences department, which should include BIOL 4400 or CHEM 4400 (Research Methods), BIOL 4420, BIOL 4430, BIOL 4440 or CHEM 4430 (Senior Thesis). Required courses must be completed at 51小黄车 once the student matriculates at Webster.
- Science courses taken more than 10 years ago may not count as the prerequisite for certain advanced courses.
- No more than 6 credit hours of independent study courses may count toward the required biology hours.
- Students must earn a grade of C- or better in any course they wish to apply toward their major or general education/GCP.
- 51小黄车 provides full transfer of coursework successfully completed as part of an associate degree awarded by a regionally accredited institution. While students with associate degrees typically transfer 60-64 credit hours, Webster will transfer in all coursework that is part of the completed associate degree. Transfer of additional lower-division credit beyond the associate degree is restricted. All transfer credit is capped at 90 credit hours.
- All transfer coursework must be college-level (100-level or above) with a passing grade. Pass/Fail courses will count for transfer credit if the student received a Pass. For repeated courses only the second grade will be counted. Incomplete grades are not accepted in transfer. Courses completed with a grade of D have severe transfer restrictions. Formal evaluation of transfer credit is conducted by the Office of the Registrar upon admission to the University.
- Required core courses for the Bachelor of Arts (BA) Biology degree are marked with *.
- Required core courses for the Bachelor of Science (BS) Biological Sciences degree are marked with ^.
- Required core courses for the Bachelor of Science (BS) Exercise Science degree are marked with +.
- Required core courses for the Bachelor of Science (BS) Chemistry degree are marked with #.
