I got a lot of great advice and finally started working on my degree plan towards a BA in psychology with a human services minor. I'm confused about the general education requirements and choosing electives. It says on UMPI's website: "Select general electives to bring total earned hours to 120."
Here's the link to my degree plan. I've looked at a few other degree plans which has helped a lot. I don't know if I'm just way over-thinking it but this is what's confusing me: "Fulfilling the GEC: To complete the GEC, select at least one course for each objective. Several courses meet more than one objective, but a minimum of 40 distinct hours in the GEC is required."
I'm pretty sure I chose the correct classes to fufill the GLO requirement so now do I just choose classes to fulfill the remainder of the general elective requirement to get me to 120 credits?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Also posting this from my original thread for more info!
