Students should use their Pathway/Category to determine the appropriate GE 1A course option. For directions on how to view your Pathway/Category, visit how to find your pathway. Questions? Contact Gator Smart Start.

²

Complementary Studies (12 Units)
Bachelor of Arts students must complete at least 12 units of Complementary Studies outside of the primary prefix for the major. (Note: Students may not use an alternate prefix that is cross-listed with the primary prefix for the major.) Students who complete two majors or a major and a minor automatically complete the Complementary Studies requirement. An additional way to complete Complementary Studies for students in the Labor and Employment Studies major is to count the 12 Complementary Studies units toward elective units in the major. Consult with your major advisor for assistance.
