General Education Courses and Program Policies

The General Education requirements for the 2021-2022 catalog are an updated listing of new and renumbered courses. General Education courses taken in prior years with older numbers will be reflected as met with the older numbers in student degree audits.

Molloy's General Education requirements, with the exception of PED courses, will also count towards meeting the Liberal Arts and Sciences requirement, as noted in the "Degree and Graduation Requirements" section of the catalog. Non-Liberal Arts and Sciences courses may not be substituted to meet General Education requirements.

Some departments require that specific General Education courses be taken with certain majors. Those courses are listed as Major or Related Requirements.

Education majors must take very specific courses for the General Education requirements and Education Majors’. The Education majors also must take additional Liberal Arts and Sciences Related requirements to satisfy both the Molloy's General Education requirement and NY State requirements for teaching certification. The specific required and recommended courses are provided in the "Education" section of the catalog.

For Minor requirements, General Education courses may be reused to apply to a Minor.
