General Education Course Sequence Many of the General Education Requirements provide important background for advanced courses that are required as a part of a major field of study. Conse– quently, in most programs many of these requirements are taken in the first two years of the four-year curricu– lum. The sample four-year cmTicula found by each major field of study in the catalog outlines this sequence. Because of the importance of several of the require– ments to all students, the following courses must be completed before the beginning of the junior year or before a student earns 90 quarter hours: BEGE-171 The Christian Life BEGE-172 lntroduction to Bible Study COM-110 Fundamentals of Speech ENG-110,140 English Composition I and II PEF-199 Physical Activity and the Christian Life
