Core Courses Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to take art, humanities, and/or social science courses?
As part of a University education a student is expected to learn about many areas of life, not just his/her major. The Arts & Humanities/Social Science requirement is part of the degree program to broaden the perspective and understanding of the student.
A total of six (6) courses need to be taken to cover the Arts & Humanities/ Social Science CORE requirement. Three (3) courses are to come from the Area I – Arts & Humanities list, from two different fields, and three (3) of these courses are to come from the Area II – Social Science list, also from two different fields.
Over the course of your career at Boise State you will need to meet the Diversity Requirement. While the courses that may be used to meet this requirement do not necessarily come from the list of core courses, they are generally speaking from the arts, humanities or social sciences.
