General Education and Graduation Requirements
St. Lawrence students are expected to take a breadth of courses in a variety of different fields. Rather than mandate students to take a particular course/subject, the curriculum is organized around categories that help our students achieve the goals listed above. For a list of current course offerings that fulfill each of the general education requirements, click on the links below. For more information (such as course descriptions and pre-requisite information), check the University Catalog or the Course Catalog in APR 2 (requires log-in). [Please note that you do not need to complete all the requirements within your first year; however, it is advised to complete them sooner rather than later.]
