General Arts and Sciences Courses

General Arts and Sciences is not a course of study. It is a temporary designation that provides students with suitable time to select the right major for them. As such this designation has no course requirements.

General Arts and Sciences students should enroll in courses that meet Trine's general education requirements as well as courses in academic programs that interest them until they select a major of their own.
