Online and Distance Learning for Liberal Arts
General Education Requirements  

Liberal Arts General Education Requirements can be fulfilled through distance learning.  Please keep in mind that you cannot use the same class in 2 different areas so the selection is limited, therefore careful semester planning would be in order. All classes are not offered every semester though many are, and many are offered over the summer, which fulfills the USF summer enrollment requirement. Contact your advisor to find out if these classes are appropriate for your planned program of study. Check the OASIS schedule of classes to determine if a class is offered during a particular semester. Any on campus meeting requirement information will be listed in OASIS.
