* While any Core General Education Mathematics course is acceptable, Statistics (STA 2023) should be strongly considered because it is a required course in the RN to BSN program.

**  AS Core General Education Humanities include the Speaking-Across-the-Curriculum (SATC) requirement.  Students who already have a humanities course that does NOT include SATC, may take another humanities course that meets the SATC requirement or a speech course.
