LOPERs通识研究项目, effective for students initially enrolling or transferring in the 2020-21 academic year or after, is designed to provide students with a solid foundation for advanced study with fewer hours (30-31学分通识课). The Program thus provides greater flexibility for students to add a second major or additional minor to their degree or explore their interests with more unrestricted elective credits. 该计划还寻求减轻社区大学学生转学的压力.

通识课程要求: Departments are permitted to require that their majors complete particular courses for LOPERs 2-11. 学生 should consult the program requirements in their major to choose appropriate GS courses for their degree.
单一系通识课程: A student may not take more than 3 courses with the same department/discipline prefix in their 一般的研究 program. Lecture/lab combinations from a single department that must be taken as co-requisites count as one course for this rule.

A student who satisfies LOPER 9 or LOPER 10 with a course that also meets another requirement will have 3 hours of elective GS credits in the 30-hour program. A student who satisfies both LOPERs 9 and 10 with courses that also meet other requirements will have 6 hours of elective credits.
