Core Curriculum and General Education Outcomes
The purpose of the Auburn University Core Curriculum is to foster the knowledge, skills, and perspectives that are hallmarks of an Auburn graduate. By completing courses that represent a range of disciplines students begin to acquire an educated appreciation of the natural world, of human life, and of the interactions between them. In particular, students complete the subject area distribution requirements identified below, which meet the requirements established by the Alabama General Studies Committee.
The specific courses each student completes in order to fulfill Auburn University’s core curriculum requirements will depend upon the particular major in which the student is enrolled. Students should consult their curriculum models and discuss their options with their academic advisor. All Auburn students are required to complete a six semester credit hour sequence in either History or Literature as part of their requirements. Courses ending in “7” are Honors courses.
English Composition: 6 hours required
The Importance of Writing at Auburn University
A key element of Auburn’s instructional mission is the emphasis on written communication, which is supported through the university’s general education courses and advanced through a robust Writing Across the Curriculum program. These efforts underscore the mechanics of formal writing, such as grammar and sentence structure, and engage students in an extensive process that translates ideas, insights, or interpretations into refined prose. Through the Writing Across the Curriculum program, every academic major maintains a comprehensive writing plan that supports student development across various occasions and audiences and provides opportunities for reflection, feedback, and assessment. By demonstrating the ability to logically present and explain a concept or idea to an audience, students understand and appreciate the role of writing as an integral part of learning.

English Composition Requirements
Students who enroll at Auburn University as freshmen and students who transfer from another institution into Auburn must meet Auburn’s six semester hour English composition requirement. Requirements are based on when the student first began collegiate study and whether the student’s English composition courses were taken at Auburn University. If a student’s particular situation is not covered in the explanations below, or if a student has questions about his or her status, then the student should contact the Director of Composition by calling the Department of English at (334) 844-4620 or via e-mail at english@auburn.edu. Additional information on the importance of writing across the curricula can be found here.
Students beginning collegiate study at Auburn as freshmen in Fall 2000 or later must complete English Composition I and II (ENGL 1100 and ENGL 1120) or the Honors equivalents (ENGL 1107 and ENGL 1127) with a grade of C or better in each course. The grades of C or better are required by the Articulation and General Studies Committee agreement. Students who earn a grade of D or F in a composition course at Auburn must repeat that course. Students may repeat the course at another institution, unless they wish to use the grade adjustment policy to exclude the grade of D or F. Students must complete the composition sequence to be eligible to take Core Literature courses.
Transfer students beginning collegiate study at another institution in Summer 1998 or later must meet Auburn’s composition requirement. They may do so in one of two ways: (1) take English Composition I and II at another institution, provided these courses are comparable in scope and coverage to ENGL 1100–ENGL 1120 and there is no duplication of hours, and earn a grade of C or better in each, or (2) take ENGL 1100–ENGL 1120 (or ENGL 1107–ENGL 1127) at Auburn and earn a grade of C or better in each.
Transfer students who have earned a grade of C or better in English Composition I, and earned three semester hours or five quarter hours at another institution will be required to take ENGL 1120 (or ENGL 1127) at Auburn. Students may also fulfill the requirement for ENGL 1120 by taking an English Composition II course at another institution, provided the course is similar in scope and coverage to ENGL 1120 and they earn a grade of C or better.
Transfer students who have been exempted on the basis of standardized test scores from English Composition I carrying five quarter hours or three semester hours at another institution, and who have earned a grade of C or better in a subsequent English composition course at the same institution carrying the same amount of credit, will have fulfilled Auburn’s composition requirement. Transfer students who have been exempted with credit will have both the exemption credit and course credit accepted at Auburn. Transfer students who have been exempted without credit, and who have earned a grade of C or better in a subsequent English composition course at the same institution, will be given the course credit and, in addition, will be awarded sufficient advanced standing credit to fulfill Auburn’s English composition requirement.
Transfer students who have been exempted from English Composition I at another institution but have had no subsequent English composition course there or have not earned a grade of C or better in the subsequent course must still complete Auburn’s six semester hour freshman composition requirement. However, if they meet any of Auburn’s criteria for exemption from ENGL 1100, they will receive three semester hours of credit for ENGL 1100 at Auburn and will be required to take ENGL 1120 (or ENGL 1123 or ENGL 1127) at Auburn. Additionally, if they meet any of Auburn’s criteria for exemption from ENGL 1120, they will receive three semester hours of credit for ENGL 1120.
All transfer students should confer with their major academic advisor concerning the composition requirement as soon as possible after enrolling at Auburn.
Students who enter an undergraduate program at Auburn after receiving a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution are exempt from meeting the composition requirement.
All students may be eligible to exempt ENGL 1100 and/or ENGL 1120 with credit on the basis of their score in one of the following standardized tests: the English portion of the ACT; the reading score of the SAT; the International Baccalaureate English A1 exam; or the CEEB Advanced Placement Exam in English. Note that CLEP test scores are not eligible for exemption. The exemption scores for each test are reviewed each year and are available in the Auburn University Advanced Placement Program, which is distributed by the Office of the Registrar.
Literature Requirements
Students beginning college work in Fall 2011 or after must take at least one Core literature course. They may take a second course in the same literature to complete a sequence. Completion of the freshman composition requirement is a pre-requisite for all literature courses.
All Auburn students beginning college work before Fall 2011 must fulfill the Core Curriculum literature requirements by taking one of four sequences:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| ENGL 2200/2207 | World Literature before 1600 | 3 |
| World Literature after 1600 | ||
| ENGL 2230 | British Lit before 1789 | 3 |
| British Lit after 1789 | ||
| ENGL 2250 | American Lit before 1865 | 3 |
| American Lit II after 1865 | ||
| ENGL 2270 | AfAm Lit Before 1900 | 3 |
| AfAm Lit After 1900 |
Literature courses taken at other institutions may fulfill the Core literature requirement with the following provisions:
- Students may transfer as equivalents of the Core literature requirement only sophomore-level literature survey courses covering a broad historical period.
- Students transferring a single literature course may receive credit for ENGL 2200 only if it is the first course in a World Literature sequence and includes literature of the ancient world. Any survey of modern literature (beginning at any time after 1600 and extending to the present), whether world literature or a national literature, will transfer as credit for ENGL 2210.
- Freshman literature courses and literature courses based on genres (poetry, the short story, the novel), themes, or narrowly defined historical periods will not fulfill the Core literature requirements but are eligible for transfer as electives.
Students or advisors with special questions about placement or credit for the Core literature requirements may contact the director of core literature through the Department of English at (334) 844-4620 or via e-mail at english@auburn.edu.
History Requirements
One of the purposes of the university’s Core Curriculum is to give students an understanding of their culture and its backgrounds. Course sequences designed especially for this purpose are those in World History and Technology and Civilization. Native students beginning college work before Fall 2011 must earn six hours of credit in one of these sequences. Students beginning college work in Fall 2011 or after must have at least one Core history course and a complete Core sequence in either literature or history.
Credit in history earned at another institution may be allowed on transfer as shown below in meeting this particular requirement:
- If transfer students have three hours in the first course of a broad, introductory two-course sequence in world history or western civilization or technology and civilization or U.S. history they must complete a history sequence, by taking HIST 1020/HIST 1027 (for World History and Western Civilization), HIST 1220/HIST 1227 (for Tech. and Viv.) or HIST 2020 (for U.S. History). A transfer student who has taken the last course in a similar two-course sequence would take HIST 1010/HIST 1017 or HIST 1210/HIST 1217 or HIST 2010 to complete a sequence.
- Students entering an undergraduate program at Auburn, after earning bachelors’ degrees from other accredited universities, may be exempted from the history requirements unless their curricula specify otherwise.
Math Requirement
Upon recommendation from the Office of Accessibility (based on a thorough review including medical documentation, student interviews, past history, etc.), the Chair of the Core Curriculum and General Education Committee may approve MATH 1000 as satisfying the core curriculum math requirement. Such approval does not remove or satisfy any specific MATH requirements or prerequisites in the student’s major. Any adjustments to major-specific MATH requirements are at the discretion of the unit offering the major.
Oral Communication Requirement
All Auburn University bachelor’s degree programs provide components to ensure competence in oral communication skills. Program information documenting oral communication components is maintained in the Office of the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs. Appropriate accommodations will be made to enable individuals with disabilities to satisfy this requirement.
