The General Education Program at GVSU

The Cardiovascular (CVS) and Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) program requires the completion of the "Foundations", "Cultures", and 1 "SWS" prior to the fall start of the program...there are no exceptions to this requirement! The remaining 2-Issues and 1-SWS courses may be completed during the program.

The General Education (GE) program at GVSU is part of your overall degree requirements and consists of four areas;

Foundations (9 courses) Physical Science, Life Science, Writing, Arts, Philosophy & Literature, Mathematical Sciences, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Historical Analysis
Cultures (2 courses) Global Perspectives, U.S. Diversity
Issues (2 courses)
Supplemental Writing Skills - SWS (2 courses)

The following Sonography major courses are required and meet a GVSU General Education requirement from above as noted in parentheses.

AHS 340 (Issues)
PHY 220 (Foundations: Physical Science w/ Lab)
PSY 101 (Foundations: Social and Behavioral Sciences)
SOC 105 (Foundations & Cultures: Social and Behavioral Sciences & U.S. Diversity)
STA 215 (Foundations: Mathematical Sciences)
RIE 495 (CVS) or RIU 495 (DMS): (SWS)

Currently enrolled GVSU can check their progress in completing the General Education and Major course requirements through Banner myPath. Non-GVSU students should meet with a College of Health Professions advisor to determine completed/remaining requirements.
