*See the Valparaiso University general catalog for a complete description of general education requirements. For BA and BS degrees, these will be listed under the "College of Arts and Sciences" section, typically somewhere between pages 40 and 50. The online text is searchable, and we recommend viewing it in PDF format. General education requirements for the BS degree for recent academic years are available here. While we believe them to be correct for that year, requirements do change, and the version published in the catalog is definitive. Students in the undergraduate program of the university may fulfill the requirements for graduation under any catalog issued during their years of attendance, beginning with the year they first entered the
university, provided there is no absence of five or more years between periods of attendance. All requirements in one catalog issue must be met.
