Total General EducationRequirements ............................. 52-63 Many of these courses also satisfy the requirements for major fields of study. 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. Consequently, in most programs many of these requirements are taken in the first two years of the four- year curriculum. The sample four-year curriculum found by each major field of study in the catalog outlines this sequence. Because of the importance of several of the requirements to all students, the following six courses must be completed before the beginning of the junior year or before a student earns 61 semester hours: BEGE-1710 Christian Life and Thought BEGE-1720 Spiritual Formation COM-1100 Fundamentals of Speech ENG-1400 Composition PEF-1990 Physical Activity and the Christian Life The VII, C.
