GENERAL EDUCATION
CCEs must be approved by the director of multicultural and cross cultural programs and the
student’s faculty advisor at least two months before they occur. In no case will CCE approval
be granted after an experience has occurred. The CCE alternative is intended for those who
plan to participate directly in a cross cultural setting, in service, work, and study activities.
It cannot be met through informal travel or extended tourist activities. Students interested
in completing a CCE can get a proposal form from the director of multicultural and cross
cultural programs.
Fine Arts
Students seeking a B.A. or B.S. degree are required to complete the fine arts requirement.
Students must complete HUM 211: Fine Arts (3 credits) or any three credit history course
in art, theatre, or music. Eligible courses include:
• ART 130 Juxtaposynthesis
• ART 251 Art History: Introduction and Survey I
• ART 252 Art History: Survey II
• ART 351 Historical Survey of Women Artists
• ART 352 Art History: The Nineteenth Century

• COM/ENG 309 Theatre History and Literature I
• COM/ENG 310 Theatre History and Literature II
• MUSG 309 Music History I

Students who enter with an A.A., A.S., or A.A.T. degree are not required to complete the
Fine Arts Requirement. B.M.E. students should take MUSG 309 Music History I to
fulfill this requirement.
Foreign Language
Students pursuing a B.A. degree who enter Greenville College without an A.A. or A.S.
degree must complete the foreign language requirement. The language requirement
may be met either by passing six credit hours of language coursework (courses numbered
101 and 102 at GC, e.g. SPN 101 and SPN 102) or by demonstrating intermediate
proficiency on a Greenville College approved proficiency examination. Greenville College
offers examinations in three languages: Spanish, French, and German. Students wishing
to demonstrate proficiency in other languages may make arrangements for an approved
examination on their own.
Majors from the Philosophy and Religion department may elect to complete the
two elementary Greek courses to fulfill their foreign language requirement. Students
completing a major from another department must select a modern foreign language to
fulfill the requirement.
Students whose primary language is not English and who are citizens of countries other
than the United States may waive the language requirement upon successful completion of
twelve or more credits at Greenville College.
Students should contact the chair of the Language, Literature, and Culture Department
for more information about competency testing. Transfer students who have earned
an Associate of Arts in Teaching (A.A.T.) degree with a general education core of 40-45
credits are considered to have met the foreign language requirement.
Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Activities (HPRA)
Most students pursuing B.A. or B.S. degrees must complete two HPRA credits in order
to graduate. HPRA courses are usually 0.5 credit courses offered for seven weeks of each
semester. Students may choose from a variety of Individual and Team Sports. Any course
with the prefix of HPRA will fulfill the requirement.
