Baccalaureate Degree Programs

Baccalaureate degree students meet the liberal studies requirements by completing courses in six divisional areas. Total credits range from 30 to 40 semester hours.  The majority of liberal studies courses at Northern Michigan University are four semester hours, so normally students meet divisional requirements by taking either eight or four hours of appropriate courses. Transfer students and others who complete the liberal studies divisional areas with less than 40 semester hours, take additional hours in general electives to reach the minimum number of hours required for graduation. Complete information on the liberal studies requirements and additional graduation requirements, including the health promotion requirement, is in the Liberal Studies Program and Graduation Requirements section of this bulletin.
