NOTE: Approval of the above Core Curriculum occurred late enough in the catalog production cycle that
changes could not be made throughout this document. Any differences between the listing above
and references to the Core Curriculum later in this catalog should be resolved in favor of the
listing above.
Core Curriculum Guidelines
1. The student’s work in a major or minor may count
toward meeting the University Core.
2. Transfer students can apply equivalent hours earned
at other universities to meet ULM core requirements
(equivalency to be determined by the appropriate
department head and the Board of Regents’ Statewide
Student Transfer Guide and General Education
Articulation Matrix).
3. All freshman students are required to take the
University Seminar for one credit hour (the course
will not count toward any degree program and will be
nontransferable).
4. In the absence of a compelling reason, degree
programs should refrain from defining or limiting
student choices within the menu of prescribed general
education courses.
Core Curriculum Abbreviations Used in Degree Plans or Programs of Study
Some degree plans specified that certain courses must be
taken from within a menu of the sets of courses in the core
curriculum. For those that did so, first the specific course
will be listed in the degree plan, followed by the appropriate
abbreviation which indicates which requirement is being
fulfilled by the specified required core curriculum course.
For example, if Mathematics 1013 and 1031 must be taken
by Computer Science majors, then the requirement will be
listed as “Mathematics 1013 cm , 1031 cm ”.
The core curriculum abbreviations which have been used
are as follows:
ce Core English Composition
ch Core Humanities
cf Core Fine Arts
cm Core Mathematics
cnp Core Natural/Physical Science
cs Core Social Science
