Transfer Degree Requirements

Nearly all bachelor’s degree programs require certain general education courses as well as specific major or pre-major courses. These general education courses, available at Kalamazoo Valley, are grouped into the following areas: English/communication, humanities/fine arts, science/mathematics, political/social science, and wellness/physical education.

The type of degree program in which the student is enrolled determines the number of required courses in each general education area.
