All students pursuing baccalaureate and associate degrees must fulfill the requirements of the Core Curriculum, an interdisciplinary liberal arts and sciences curriculum. Every student at the Mount typically must complete three component areas of study in order to graduate. These component areas are core requirements, major/program requirements, and general electives. In addition, a student must complete a minimum of 128 credit hours for a baccalaureate degree. Please note that while a course may be listed in more than one of the component areas, the credits only count once toward the 128 credit hours needed to graduate.
All of the listed degree requirements must be satisfied before a diploma or transcript with the degree noted will be released.
Students who transfer to the Mount need to consult with their academic advisor regarding transfer Core requirements, which allow for flexible use of transfer courses into the Mount's core curriculum.
The following lists provide the specific breakdown of Core Curriculum credits for students seeking baccalaureate and associate degrees. Courses coded to satisfy the Core Curriculum are listed in each semester Class Schedule.
