GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS - PRESCRIBED ELECTIVES (GER-PE)
These courses provide the required grounding in the broad areas of business, liberal arts and technological knowledge to better prepare our graduates for the new economy in the 21st century.
All students are required to read 9 AUs of GER-PE to be selected from three categories:
- Business and Management (BM) - 3 AUs
- Science, Technology & Society (STS) - 3 AUs
- Liberal Arts (LA) - 3 AUs
More information on GER-PE courses and the list of offered courses are in OAS website.
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT - UNRESTRICTED ELECTIVES (GER-UE)
Students are required to read 15 AUs of GER-UE offered by MAE or by other Schools.
Click here for the list of GER-UE. Not all courses in the list are available.
Students who opt to read for a Minor will take the courses required to fulfill the requirements of the Minor in lieu of the GER-UE requirements. MAE students are not allowed to read a minor in Minor in Systems Management (MSM).
Please refer to the OAS website for more information on reading Minors.
