The purpose of the UCF General Education Program (GEP) is to introduce the student to a broad range of human knowledge and intellectual pursuits. To develop the ability to think critically, and to prepare for life-long learning.
Transfer equivalencies for GEP are based on the course content being equivalent to an acceptable General Education course at UCF
For example: Intro to Psych. or Intro to Soc. are acceptable for General Education Social Science requirement. However, Abnormal Psychology is not acceptable.
Ethics or Logic are too subject specific and not acceptable for Introduction to Philosophy or any Cultural or History requirement.
