Three-Credits Gen Eds

If you began your studies at UMass as a Freshman and take a three-credit Gen Ed course while studying abroad, you may have the option to switch from Freshman to Transfer Gen Ed requirements. This change allows a three-credit course to fulfill a Gen Ed requirement, though additional coursework may be necessary to meet graduation requirements.

Under Transfer Gen Ed rules, each Gen Ed requirement can be met with either a 3- or 4-credit course with the appropriate designation. However, students following Transfer Gen Ed requirements must also complete two additional Gen Ed courses in any area (except writing) to meet overall credit requirements for graduation.

 For guidance on the best course of action ahead of your upcoming program, please consult your Education Abroad or Academic Advisor.
