General Education
I. LMU Specific Courses
*LMU requires all first-time freshmen students with less than 15 credits of college credit to complete UACT 100. This credit does not include AP, CLEP, or Dual- enrollment credit.
II. Communication
III. Ethics, Fine Arts, History, or Humanities
IV. Behavioral/Social Sciences
PSYC-221 counts concurrently toward LMU’s social science general education requirement and highly recommended for ASN students. Other courses in the disciplines of Economics, Geography, Government, Psychology, and Sociology will also meet LMU’s general education requirements in the social sciences. However, students who have completed one of these courses for their social science requirement would still be required to take PSYC 100 or 221 as a nursing licensure requirement.
V. Mathematics
VI. Natural Sciences
BIOL-261, BIOL-262 are nursing licensure requirements. Any laboratory science course in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, or Physics meets LMU’s natural science general education requirement for associate degrees. Any one of the courses listed above will count concurrently toward general education and the nursing program requirements.
