The International and Multicultural requirement is a minimum of 6 semester-credits. Students satisfy the requirement by completing a 3-credit course approved as multicultural and a 3- credit course approved as international. A single course may not simultaneously meet both the multicultural and international requirements.

Both the international and multicultural courses may simultaneously satisfy other General Education requirements. The 6 semester-credits may then overlap with rather than add to the total General Education credit requirements.
