This page provides some data on the Gen Ed courses offered as well as additional resources available to review Gen Ed courses. Figures listed are for all Active Gen Ed courses, meaning a course approved for one or more Gen Ed category. Unless otherwise noted for the table, the figures count all Active Gen Ed courses, not just those offered in the particular semester. These figures only include the controlling section (does not include crosslisted sections) of all active Gen Ed courses.
