The purpose of Central Washington University's General Education Requirements (also known as Basic and Breadth) is two-fold.  First, it ensures graduates are competent in basic skills such as English, math, reasoning, computing and foreign language.  Second, it ensures students learn about areas outside of their chosen academic major.  This breadth of experience helps give students a well-rounded education that exposes them to more than just one subject area.

General Education Requirements are in addition to the requirements for a specific academic major.  General Education Requirements are usually completed in the first and second years of study while academic major requirements are usually completed afterwards.

Choose one course from each area (A - F). Students must complete all Basic Requirements (except foreign language) prior to accumulating 75 credits. All classes are five credits unless otherwise indicated.

A. University 101 (required for freshmen only) - 1 / 3 credits
     Music 104 (required for freshmen music majors only)
B. English 101 and 102 (both required) - Composition - 4 credits
C. Math 101 - Math in the Modern World
     Math 153 - Pre-Calculus I
     Math 154 - Pre-Calculus II
     Math 164 - Foundations of Arithmetic
     Math 170 - Intuitive Calculus
     Math 172 - Calculus
D. Computer Science 105 - Logical Basis of Computing
     Math 102 - Mathematical Decision Making
     Math 130 - Finite Math
     Philosophy 201 - Introduction to Logic
E. Foreign Language - 2 years in high school or 1 year in college
F. Computer Science 101 - Computer Basics
     Information Technology 101 - Computer Applications

There are three main Breadth areas: Arts & Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences and The Natural Sciences.
Choose one course from each of the nine specific areas (G - O) including four writing content courses (W). Avoid multiple courses from the same department in each main area. For example, if you chose History 144 (J) and History 103 (K) only one course would count for Breadth since both courses are from the same main area. However, if you chose Geography 108 (L) and Geography 107 (N) both courses would count for Breadth since they are from two different main areas.
