Breadth of Knowledge requirements

The Breadth of Knowledge requirements ensure that as part of your general education experience, you have an introduction to and understanding of three distinct areas:

  • Humanities and fine arts
  • Natural sciences
  • Social behavior sciences

These subject areas are in line with VCU's accrediting body's (The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges) requirements for general education programs.

How do I fulfill this requirement?

For more details about these courses and fulfilling ConnectED's Breadth of Knowledge requirement, see the VCU Bulletin. And, as always, talk to your advisor!
