Quantitative Reasoning

Winter 2025-2026

If you entered college as a freshman between Fall 1993 and Summer 2002, you need to complete a Quantitative Reasoning I (QR1) course in order to graduate. To complete the QRI requirements you must take one course listed as QR1 from the list below.

If you entered college as a freshman in Fall 2002 or later, you must complete both Quantitative Reasoning I (QR1) and Quantitative Reasoning II (QR2) courses in order to graduate. To complete the QR1 requirement you must take one course listed as QR1 from the list below. To complete the QR2 requirement you must take a second course from the list below - either a second QR1 or a QR2.

Effective for entering freshmen in Fall 2004, all courses on this list are approved for General Education credit on a campus wide basis. However individual Colleges or curricula may require specific courses or course categories. Students should consult their advisors about selecting the general education courses which best fit their programs of study.

Courses are added as they are approved.
