No, it transfers as REL-277

(04-26-2019, 12:10 PM)Thank you again. So just to be clear b/c I don\t see Rel-277 on the list for General Education Electives for the Business General Mgmt degree, would it still transfer as a GE elective? Wrote:

It'll count as a GE elective, yes. It might also count as Diversity if you need that, but I'm not sure. Definitely as a GenEd elective.

Thank you again!! So just to be clear b/c I don\t see Rel-277 on the list for General Education Electives for the Business General Mgmt degree, would it still transfer as a GE elective?

How could I find out if it would transfer as a diversity credit in the Civic and Global Learning section bc I need one more in that section?

Keep in mind that the list of courses that TESU provides is specifically for their own courses. There are plenty of transfer courses that will fulfill degree requirements that TESU doesn't show since it can't possibly know every potential course someone may try to transfer in.

In general, Gen Ed courses will fall into the following course codes at TESU...
  • Humanities: ART, COM, ENG, FIL, HUM, LIB, LIT, JOU, MUS, PHI, PHO, REL, languages
  • Social Sciences: ANT, AOJ, ECO, ETH, GLB, GOG, HIS, POS, PSY, SOC
  • Physical & Natural World (inc. Comp Science): AST, BIO, CHE, CIS, COS, EAS, ELE, ENS, FIT, GEO, GER, PHY
  • Quantitative Literacy/Mathematics: MAT, STA
  • Written Communication: ENC
There are exceptions, of course, but that is a pretty generalized list of GenEds. If a course transfers in as one of those codes, it will probably fall into the preceding category and count as GenEd credits.

Do you know what codes are generally required for Diversity?

The diversity courses come in as a number of different codes since the designation is based on the content of a course rather than its discipline. Diversity courses include content that discusses world cultures, histories, gender differences, etc.

Some example courses that TESU offers to fulfill the diversity requirement include:
  • ANT-101: Introduction to Anthropology
  • COM-335: Elements of Intercultural Communication
  • GLB-301: Global Issues in Society
  • GOG-230: World Geography
  • HEA-305: Women's Health
  • HEA-306: Men's Health
  • HIS-126: World History from 1600 to Present 2
  • HIS-210: American Civil Rights Movement
  • HIS-261: Introduction to Chinese History and Culture
  • HIS-301: African History and Culture
  • HIS-306: African American History
  • LDR-422: Leadership in a Global Environment
  • MAN-372: International Management
  • POS-282: Introduction to Comparative Politics 2
  • POS-315: International Relations I
  • POS-420: Conflict in International Relations
  • PSY-270: Psychology of Women 2
  • REL-275: An Introduction to Islam
  • REL-405: World Religions
  • REL-406: Eastern Religions
  • REL-407: Western Religions
  • SOC-101: Introduction to Sociology 1, 3
  • SOC-210: Marriage and the Family 1
  • SOC-322: Cultural Diversity in the United States
Obviously, you can take courses from elsewhere. As long as they have a course title similar to one of the courses listed above, chances are good that it will meet the diversity requirement.
