Complete your Gen Eds, discover new ways of thinking, and earn Honors units.
The University of Arizona's General Education Program carries through the first several years of your undergraduate experience. You'll start by taking UNIV 101. (Make sure you enroll in an Honors section!) Then, you'll complete coursework based on your interests, designed so you can explore others' perspectives and make connections between your courses throughout undergrad. After completing all or the majority of your gen ed requirements, you'll take UNIV 301, a 1-unit course that will help you make the most of what you've learned through the Gen Ed curriculum.
