EOU’s General Education Requirements

 

15 credits from the following three categories (combined) with at least one course from each category:

• Communications
• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
• Quantitative Reasoning

9 credits in each of the following five categories

• Aesthetics and Humanities
• Human Behavior
• Natural World
• Arts and the Creative Process
• Logic, Language, and Culture

In the GETM, the total of 19 Math/Sci/CS classes would likely cover 19 credits from Qantitative Reasoning, Natural World, and Critical Thinking and Problem Solving combined.  The only awkward aspect of this is the CS courses; none of EOU’s CS courses are GenEd, so such things normally wouldn’t transfer as individual classes.

 

The GETM’s Social Science category would likely cover all of EOU’s Human Behavior category (with one extraneous credit).

 

The GETM’s 8 credits of writing should carry over in EOU’s Communications category.

 

The GETM’s Oral Communication category would be a new addition – EOU doesn’t have a speech class as GenEd.

 

The GETM’s Arts and Letters category would likely carry over to the Aesthetics and Humanities and the Arts and the Creative Process combined.

 

EOU’s Logic, Language, and Culture category is met mostly by foreign language classes with a couple anthropology and psychology classes added in.  If the GETM’s Arts&Letters category includes foreign languages, this might transfer here, but otherwise I see nothing that would carry over.

 

In any event, the additional GenEd requirements at Eastern for a student transferring with the GETM would be approximately 17 credits from within the (Aesthetics and Humanities), (Arts and the Creative Process), and (Logic, Language, and Culture) categories.

 

Be aware that predicting transfers like this is a difficult thing to do, especially with EOU’s somewhat bizarre collection of categories – for instance five of the eight categories listed above – Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Quantitative Reasoning, Human Behavior, Natural World, and Logic-Language-Culture, include at least one Psych class as an option.  With variety like that it is sometimes difficult to predict where any given class will fall.
