Undergraduate Degree Requirements

Degrees Offered

Florida State University confers at the bachelor's level the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Music Education, Bachelor of Social Work, and the Bachelor of Science degrees, the requirements for which are described in detail below. Students may find requirements for all graduate degrees (master's, specialist, professional, and doctoral) in the Graduate Bulletin.

Students pursuing a baccalaureate degree at Florida State University must meet numerous state- and University-wide degree requirements as they progress through their course of studies. In general, freshman and sophomore students in most majors emphasize work in a broad-based liberal arts curriculum, Liberal Studies, and in consultation with their advisors select a major concentration. By the end of the sophomore year, all students should have completed at least half of the General Education portion of the Liberal Studies curriculum, including the English Composition and Quantitative and Logical Thinking requirements.

Around the end of the sophomore year (fifty-two degree hours), students formally select a major and request acceptance by the college in which the major is taught. Students transferring into the University with an Associate of Arts (AA) degree from a Florida public community college or university, or transferring fifty-two or more semester hours of credit, are eligible to be admitted directly into the college of their choice provided they meet minimum requirements for the major selected.

Students at the junior and senior level complete the requirements of their chosen major and often of a minor field. They may also have to fulfill additional requirements specific to their college and/or certification requirements to engage in a particular profession for which their undergraduate major is preparatory.

Understanding these degree requirements is crucial to the smooth progression to graduation. Students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisors regularly throughout their undergraduate years to ensure that they are making appropriate progress toward their degree and to consult their academic deans' offices, Advising First, and the Office of the University Registrar for assistance and clarification of degree requirements.

Baccalaureate Degree Requirements

Florida State University will confer the bachelor's degree when the following conditions have been met. Restrictions may be found under 'Transfer Credit' in the "Academic Regulations and Procedures" chapter of this General Bulletin.

Satisfactory completion of Florida State University's Liberal Studies requirements with a minimum overall adjusted grade point average of 2.0. The Liberal Studies curriculum requirements are divided into two curriculum segments: General Education and University-Wide Graduation Requirements, which encompass all state requirements. A full discussion of these requirements can be found in this chapter below, under the "Liberal Studies Curriculum."

Satisfactory completion of major requirements in a chosen degree program, including additional requirements set by the college offering the degree. The student's degree program will appear on the baccalaureate diploma. A list of degree programs is available in the "Academic Degree and Certificate Programs" chapter of this General Bulletin. Major names are not printed on university diplomas.
A minimum adjusted grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 on all coursework taken at Florida State University is required for a degree. In addition, the overall GPA on all college-level work attempted (high school dual enrollment, transfer and FSU coursework) is used as part of the determination of degrees of distinction. See the "Degrees of Distinction" section of this chapter for more information.
Successful completion of a minimum of one hundred twenty unduplicated semester hours. Physical education activity courses may count as elective credit except in cases where an individual degree program places a specific limit.
Completion of at least forty-five semester hours in courses numbered 3000 and above, thirty of which need to be taken at Florida State University.
Completion of the last thirty semester hours and half of the major course semester hours, in residence at this University. In cases of emergency, a maximum of six hours of the final thirty semester hours may be completed by correspondence or residence at another accredited institution with the approval of the academic dean. College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) credit earned may be applied to the final thirty-hour requirement provided that the student has earned at least thirty semester hours credit at Florida State University.
Students who have entered a university in the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities, with fewer than sixty hours of credit in the fall of 1976 or any time thereafter are required to earn at least nine hours prior to graduation by attendance in one or more Summer terms at one of the State University System institutions. The University President may waive the application of this rule in cases of unusual hardship to the individual. Students may request waivers of this requirement by giving the details of their hardships through their academic deans to the Vice President for Faculty Development and Advancement. Prior to 2011, students who had earned nine semester hours of credit through approved acceleration methods (AP, IB, CLEP, and approved dual enrollment courses) were exempt from the summer residency requirement. Effective 2011, this exemption is no longer available.
Satisfaction of the foreign-language admissions requirement by having two sequential units of the same foreign language in high school, or eight semester hours of the same foreign language in college, or documented equivalent proficiency.
Successful completion of the Civic Literacy requirement.
Successful completion of coursework constituting the student's program of studies, minor, honors thesis, or certification examination does not guarantee the awarding of the baccalaureate degree. Faculty judgment of the academic performance of the student is inherent in the educational process in determining whether the awarding of the baccalaureate degree or admission into a higher level degree program is warranted.

Note: For the purpose of establishing residency, the various Summer sessions are considered one semester.

Following is a full discussion of state- and University-wide degree requirements at the undergraduate level. Requirements specific to a particular college may be found in the section of this General Bulletin describing that college. Major and minor requirements may be found under the appropriate department in the departmental listings.

State Mandated Academic Learning Compacts (SMALCs)

The State Board of Governors has directed each university to develop Academic Learning Compacts for every baccalaureate degree program. A State University System Academic Learning Compact (SMALC) identifies for each academic bachelor's program what students will learn by the end of a program and how knowledge is measured above and beyond course grades.

A SMALC must pinpoint the core learning expectations in the areas of communication, critical thinking skills, and content/discipline knowledge and skills. Additionally, it must identify the corresponding assessments used to determine how well the student has assimilated the articulated expectations.

Successful performance related to the State Mandated Academic Learning Compacts specific to your degree is a requirement for graduation.

Visit https://provost.fsu.edu/outcomes/smalcs-report/ to view the current version of the SMALCs for your degree. Simply select your major and detailed information is provided. You may also obtain information pertaining to SMALCs by contacting the academic departments.

Division of Undergraduate Studies

Dean: Joseph O'Shea

Associate Deans: Craig Filar, Lynn Hogan, Nikki Raimondi, Paulette Curtis; Assistant Deans: Courtney Barry, Heather Bishop, DeOnte Brown, Miguel Negron, Allison Peters, LaShae Roberts

The Division of Undergraduate Studies is responsible for the supervision and monitoring of state- and University-wide degree requirements as well as University-wide academic support offices. Overseen by the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, the division includes the Office of Undergraduate Studies (the academic home of most freshmen and sophomores), Advising First, the Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement (CARE), the University Honors Program, Transfer and Information Services, the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), the Office of National Fellowships, and the Center for Undergraduate Research and Academic Engagement.

Freshmen and sophomores have their programs and coursework supervised by the Office of Undergraduate Studies. Exceptions to this placement are students accepted into the College of Music, College of Motion Picture Arts, or into the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program in theatre or dance. Students in these majors are advised and supervised directly within their own schools or departments. The Office of Undergraduate Studies is the dean's office that administers the academic and advisement program, regardless of intended major, for all other freshman and sophomore students.

Liberal Studies Curriculum

The Liberal Studies curriculum provides an educational foundation that enables FSU students to thrive in and beyond the classroom. Across the curriculum, students build the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in the major and life after college.

Statewide Requirements

College-Level Communication and Computation Requirement

The State of Florida mandates minimum communication and computation skills for all students in Florida public institutions of higher education. The Statewide General Education Core and the University-wide requirements are designed to meet these requirements. The statewide graduation requirements of these rules follow.

Students will satisfy the requirements of this rule by completing, with a grade of "C–" or higher in each course, the General Education requirements in Quantitative and Logical Thinking, English Composition, and two other approved courses that require college-level writing for a total of six additional writing credits. The six additional writing credits may be fulfilled through successful completion of approved "W" (State-Mandated Writing) or E-Series courses. These requirements must be completed prior to receipt of an Associate of Arts degree from Florida State University.

Credit by Examination. A student shall be allowed to partially satisfy the State mandates for communication and computation by earning academic credit for approved Quantitative and Logical Thinking, English Composition, or "W" (State-Mandated Writing) coursework with a passing score on an appropriate AP, IB, AICE or CLEP examination. Refer to the AP, IB, AICE, and CLEP Tables in the "Academic Regulations and Procedures" chapter of this General Bulletin for college course equivalents and credits earned. Students will still be required to take ENC 2135 (or an approved 2000-level ENC composition course) to meet FSU requirements for English Composition and General Education.

Transfer Credits or Correspondence Credits. Students transferring to Florida State University who have been certified by Florida State University as having completed the AA degree from a Florida public university, state college, community college, or other college with which Florida State University maintains an official articulation agreement are deemed to have satisfied the State mandates for communication and computation and Florida State University's General Education requirements.

Students transferring from other institutions that come under the provision of these State mandates, but who have not received the AA degree will be deemed to have satisfied the State mandates for General Education if the previous institution indicates, by notation on the transcript or by some other form of written certification, that the student has satisfied these State mandates before leaving that institution.

Transferring students who do not fall into either of the above categories will be required to satisfy Florida State University's plan for State mandates.

Statewide General Education Core

The State of Florida Statute 1007.25 regarding General Education was revised in 2012 and again in 2013 to "improve articulation and reduce excess hours" for students entering the State University System (SUS) and Florida College System (FCS). Information on the statute, the implementation process, and the decisions made is posted on the official Website at http://www.fldoe.org/policy/articulation/general-edu-core-course-options.stml.

The Statewide General Education Core requirements apply to students initially entering the SUS or FCS in the 2015-2016 academic year and thereafter. Fifteen (three credit hours from each category) of the thirty-six General Education credits must be earned from the five Statewide General Education Core requirement categories (at FSU, these are: English Composition, Quantitative and Logical Thinking, Social Sciences/History, Humanities and Cultural Practice/Ethics, and Natural Sciences). All SUS and FCS institutions must accept these courses for transfer credit, but no institution must offer all courses.

General Education Digital Badge Series: Section 1007.25, Florida Statutes, was revised in 2021 to create the General Education Digital Badge Series. Career readiness competencies are evaluated for alignment with general education student learning outcomes. At the time of publication, staff from the Division of Florida College and Office of the Board of Governors identified the first digital badge with the anticipation of creating four additional badges for a total of five badges, mirroring the five General Education Core areas.

Fundamentals of Written Communication: Beginning in Fall 2022, Florida public postsecondary institutions will offer students a "Fundamentals of Written Communication" digital badge upon successful completion with a grade of "C" or better of ENC 1101 or a course with an "ENC" prefix for which ENC 1101 is an immediate prerequisite. By earning this badge, students document their personal communication skills including effective reading, writing, speaking, listening, and nonverbal communication skills. This badge will convey to future employers that students have acquired vital skills needed for professional success.

Civic Literacy

Students first entering any Florida College System institution or State University System institution as degree-seeking undergraduates in the 2018-2019 school year and thereafter must demonstrate competency in civic literacy prior to receipt of the baccalaureate degree. This includes transfer students and students seeking a second bachelor's degree who began as degree-seeking undergraduates at any FCS or SUS institution in the 2018-2019 school year or thereafter.

Visit https://liberalstudies.fsu.edu/civic-literacy.html for the most recent guidance on meeting the Civic Literacy requirement.

University-Wide Curriculum

"W" (State-Mandated Writing) and E-Series Courses

To satisfy the state writing mandates, students must complete two approved three-credit college-level writing courses beyond the six hours required for English Composition. These two additional college-level writing courses may be fulfilled through successful completion of "W" (State-Mandated Writing) or E-Series courses. Transfer students who entered the University without having completed the General Education requirements elsewhere or who have not completed an articulated AA degree must complete two approved courses that meet the State-Mandated Writing requirement. To fulfill the college-level writing requirement, students must earn a grade of at least a "C–" in the course, and also earn at least a "C–" average on the required writing assignments. If a student does not earn a "C–" average or higher on the required writing assignments, the student will not earn an overall grade of "C–" or higher in the course, no matter how well the student performs in the remaining portion of the course. Students with an AA degree or General Education Statement from a Florida public university, state college, community college, or other colleges with which Florida State University maintains an official articulation agreement are exempt from the state mandates for college-level writing.

Florida State University has developed E-Series courses that focus on broad questions that are relevant to humanity and our natural world and can be explored, examined, and experimented upon (thus, E-Series). E-Series courses are designed to foster critical thinking by allowing students to analyze persistent issues from multiple perspectives. All E-Series courses count toward the "W" (State-Mandated Writing) requirement. To fulfill the college-level writing requirement, students must earn a grade of at least a "C-" in the course and also earn at least a "C-" average on the required writing assignments. If the student does not earn a "C-" average or higher on the required writing assignments, the students will not earn an overall grade of "C-" or higher in the course, no matter how well the student performs in the remaining portion of the course. This course may also fall into one of the core General Education and/or Scholarship in Practice areas. Check the Liberal Studies website for the most recent information and to find an approved list of E-Series courses: https://liberalstudies.fsu.edu/.
