The General Education Course Planning Guide is designed to help you plan your Gen Ed experience.
Each Gen Ed requirement has a specific letter designation. To find out whether a course satisfies a Gen Ed, consult SPIRE. To monitor your Gen Ed progress, go to your SPIRE homepage, and from the blue menu on the left, first click on “Academics” and then click on “Academic Requirements.”

For further information about Gen Ed, visit the Gen Ed website at http://www.umass.edu/gened
