To satisfy this requirement, students will be required to pass at least one 3-credit Environmental Literacy course. These courses can be identified by the letter "E" in the course number. (NOTE: you may not see the "E" designation on all of these courses for the spring 2020 semester but they will still fulfill the requirement).
Below is a list of currently approved courses. Many new courses are under review and this list will be periodically updated. You can find a full list of approved courses through https://geoc.uconn.edu/approved-gen-ed-courses/
