Unified General Education Requirements

Case Western Reserve University adopted a common set of general education requirements for all undergraduate degree programs effective for students who matriculate at the university during the 2023-2024 academic year or later. Students who entered the university in Spring 2023 or earlier will continue to follow the general education requirements in place at the time of matriculation and published in the General Bulletin of that academic year, but they may choose to update their requirements to those included in a later General Bulletin. See General Bulletin Archives.

The Unified General Education Requirements (UGER) are designed to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to understand and address the world’s challenges with intellectual rigor, creativity, humility, and integrity. They prepare graduates not only for their future careers, but also for their futures as whole people and as engaged citizens of local, national, and global communities. They also provide flexibility for students to explore multiple areas of interest from the moment they arrive on campus.

To satisfy UGER requirements, students must complete:

A 3 credit hour Academic Inquiry Seminar as part of the required Written, Oral, and Multimodal Communication course sequence
At least 18 credit hours of coursework to satisfy Breadth Requirements in areas outside of that covered by their major field of study.

In addition, among the courses selected to meet major or minor requirements, breadth requirements, or as electives, students must satisfy a set of Skills and Perspectives requirements:

Skills
- Written, Oral, and Multimodal Communication
- Quantitative Reasoning
- Wellness
Perspectives
- Moral and Ethical Reasoning
- Understanding Global Perspectives
- Human Diversity and Commonality
- Local and Global Engagement

Each of these requirements is described in more detail below. Note that a single course may be used to satisfy all of the requirements for which it has been approved. Also, the lists of courses approved for various requirements are complete as of the time of publication of this General Bulletin, but additional courses may be approved during the academic year and reflected on the university's UGER webpage and in Class Search at the time of course registration for each semester.

While completing UGER and other requirements, all students must maintain and submit an Experience Portfolio that documents their progress in the Written, Oral, and Multimodal Communication sequence and provides reflections on and self-assessment of their progress as a student.

Breadth

As part of the Unified General Education Requirements, all undergraduate degree candidates must complete breath requirements across three broad areas of inquiry:

Arts & Humanities (A+H)
Social Sciences & Management (SS+M)
Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics & Nursing (STEM+N)

These requirements aim to prepare the student to:

Recognize the contributions of different disciplinary approaches to understanding the human condition and the value of these approaches as different ways of characterizing and understanding contemporary, historical, and natural phenomena, events, and problems.
Place their disciplinary work in a larger social context and share their ideas with individuals who bring different expertise and perspectives to a given problem.
Engage with confidence in learning new material to address emerging issues in their professional and civic life.

A minimum of 18 credit hours of coursework must be completed with passing letter grades from the two areas outside the area of the major. This coursework must include at least 6 credit hours from each of these two other areas, with the remaining 6 credit hours to be satisfied in either of these two areas.

Up to 9 credit hours of the breadth requirements may be satisfied with credit earned from AP, IB, or similar test scores recognized by the university or with transfer credit, but a minimum of 3 credit hours in each breadth area outside that of the major must be taken at CWRU.

Matriculated transfer students may additionally fulfill breadth requirements beyond this limit with transfer credit awarded for courses taken at their previous colleges or universities prior to matriculation at CWRU, provided the courses are approved upon review at CWRU.

Courses taken to satisfy breadth requirements may also be used to meet other requirements (various Skills or Perspectives) for which they are approved.

A cross-listed course can be used to satisfy any breadth area for which it qualifies, but each course may only count towards one area.

Skill: Written, Oral, and Multimodal Communication

Written, oral, and multimodal communication is essential to all societal endeavors. The sequence of courses that satisfy this requirement ensures that students have multiple opportunities to compose texts and presentations that will contribute to their academic, civic, professional, and personal growth.

Students must pass with letter grades the following sequence of courses:

An Academic Inquiry Seminar (3 credit hours) during their first year of enrollment.
Two Communication-Intensive courses (at least 3 credit hours each).
A Disciplinary Communication course or course sequence (at least 3 credit hours).
A Capstone Project course or course sequence (at least 3 credit hours).

Work from each of these components must be submitted to the student’s Experience Portfolio.

By the end of these experiences, students will be able to:

Identify, analyze, and respond appropriately to the contexts, audiences, and purposes of a variety of writing/communication tasks (rhetorical awareness).
Apply critical, creative, and analytical skills to describe and evaluate relevant questions of problems (critical thinking).
Use effective research methods to discover and evaluate credible, relevant, and diverse sources that are appropriate for the writing/communication task (information literacy).
Contribute to scholarly conversations among diverse people and perspectives (authorial agency).
Develop successful composing processes, including strategies for reading, responding, drafting, collaborating, revising, editing, and reflecting (composing processes).
Compose effective written, oral, and multimodal texts that address the expectations for the task, as appropriate to the genre and discipline (mechanical & stylistic agility).

Academic Inquiry Seminar

Academic Inquiry Seminars develop the habits of mind and writing/communication processes that characterize academic discourse at CWRU. Students engage with questions and topics from multiple perspectives, and they establish effective writing processes (including planning, drafting, responding to feedback, revising, reflecting, and self-assessing).

Students must pass with letter grades an Academic Inquiry Seminar during either their first or second semester of enrollment at CWRU. Students may choose among topical seminars (AIQS 100), foundations seminars for students who need or want more experience with the writing process (AIQS 110), seminars for non-native speakers of English (AIQS 120), or Community Engaged Academic Inquiry Seminars for an additional credit hour and interaction with off-campus organizations (AIQS 130). Students for whom English is a second language and who would benefit from an initial focus on academic English will enroll in AIAE 100 (3 credit hours) during their first semester of enrollment and then continue with an Academic Inquiry Seminar in the following semester. Some students for whom English is a second language will go directly into an Academic Inquiry Seminar (AIQS 120) in their first semester.

Courses that satisfy the Academic Inquiry Seminar requirement:

Course List
Code	Title	Credit Hours
Academic Inquiry Courses:
AIQS 100	Academic Inquiry Seminar	3
AIQS 110	Academic Inquiry Seminar	3
AIQS 120	Academic Inquiry Seminar	3
AIQS 130	Community Engaged Academic Inquiry Seminar	4

Transfer students who have completed the first-year writing requirement at another college or university prior to matriculation at CWRU will earn transfer credit for the Academic Inquiry Seminar requirement. Students who matriculate at CWRU as first-year students, or as transfer students having not completed the first-year writing requirement at another college or university may not use transfer credit to satisfy this requirement, unless approved through an appeal process with the Faculty Senate Committee on Undergraduate Education (FSCUE).

Students must upload two assignments from the Academic Inquiry Seminar to their Experience Portfolios. These will ordinarily be (1) a 1,000-1,500 word academic argument that articulates their own contribution to a relevant question/topic, including engaging with credible sources and diverse viewpoints and (2) a final reflection on their writing processes and projects over the course of the semester.

Communication-Intensive

Communication-Intensive courses use writing/communication to enhance students’ learning of the course content. Students use writing and other forms of communication to engage with course topics and questions in ways that demonstrate their growing participation in academic inquiry and knowledge-making.

Students must pass with letter grades two Communication-Intensive courses of at least 3 credit hours each.

Courses used to satisfy the Communication-Intensive requirement must be taken at CWRU. Students may not use AP, IB, or similar test scores or transfer credit to satisfy this requirement, unless approved through an appeal process with the Faculty Senate Committee on Undergraduate Education (FSCUE). Students may still receive credit based on AP, IB, or similar test scores or transfer credit based on the content of the work completed elsewhere, as approved by the appropriate academic department, but this credit will not satisfy the Communication-Intensive requirement unless approved by FSCUE.

For each Communication-Intensive course, students must upload an assignment to their Experience Portfolios. This should ordinarily be a 2,000-2,500 word research-based argument with appropriate citation/documentation of sources, or an equivalent genre appropriate to the course content/discipline.

Disciplinary Communication

Disciplinary Communication courses introduce students to disciplinary and professional forms of communication, including questions, ethics, processes, and modes of response common to a specific academic discipline.

Students must pass with letter grades a Disciplinary Communication course or approved course sequence of at least 3 credit hours. This requirement is usually completed within the major field of study.

Courses used to satisfy the Disciplinary Communication requirement must be taken at CWRU. Students may not use AP, IB, or similar test scores or transfer credit to satisfy this requirement, unless approved by through an appeal process with the Faculty Senate Committee on Undergraduate Education (FSCUE). Students may receive credit based on AP, IB, or similar test scores or transfer credit based on the content of the work completed elsewhere, as approved by the appropriate academic department, but this credit will not satisfy the Disciplinary Communication requirement unless approved by FSCUE.

Students must upload to their Experience Portfolios an assignment that demonstrates their ability to engage in disciplinary-specific writing and communication.

Capstone Project

In Capstone Project courses, students use what they have learned at CWRU to design a project that responds meaningfully to a question, problem, or issue that matters in the discipline of their choosing. The writing/communication focus of Capstone Projects includes “translating” specialized, disciplinary knowledge for a diverse general audience.

Students must pass with letter grades a Capstone Project course or approved course sequence of at least 3 credit hours. This requirement is usually completed within the major field of study.

Courses used to satisfy the Capstone Project requirement must be taken at CWRU.

Students must upload two assignments from the Capstone Project course to their Experience Portfolios. These will ordinarily be (1) a substantial final project that includes a public-facing preface or executive summary communicating the project’s significance and contribution and (2) a final reflection on their writing/communication development at CWRU.

Perspective: Human Diversity and Commonality

Courses and course sequences in this category address in a substantive way one or more categories of human diversity, e.g. race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, age, religion, and other cultural practices, so as to provide students with new understandings of cultural variation, similarity, and change, or how one’s actions could have disparate impacts on different peoples.

By the end of these experiences, students will be able to analyze the ways in which forms of human difference shape a person’s experiences of and perspectives on contemporary and historical issues and/or how one’s actions could have disparate impacts on different peoples.

Students must earn a passing letter grade in a course or course sequence designated as satisfying the Human Diversity and Commonality requirement. Transfer credit may not be used to satisfy this requirement unless approved by through an appeal process with the Faculty Senate Committee on Undergraduate Education (FSCUE).
