Appendix: Common Curriculum
Note: The Common Curriculum will replace the General Education Curriculum beginning with the 2025-26 academic year. Continuing students who entered the university prior to 2025-26 will be expected to complete the existing General Education Curriculum unless they elect to complete the Common Curriculum instead.
The Common Curriculum provides academic breadth with a set of intellectually rigorous and challenging courses that foster skills and attributes associated with leadership and global citizenship.
Every undergraduate student in a baccalaureate degree program in the University, on all campuses, must complete the Common Curriculum. The Common Curriculum requires students to complete six Topics of Inquiry and three Competencies.
The purpose of the Common Curriculum is to ensure that all University of Connecticut undergraduate students are experienced with different ways of knowing and many kinds of knowledge beyond career preparation, and that they enter society and their professions with a strong sense of moral, ethical, and social responsibility. It is vital to the accomplishment of the University’s mission that a balance between professional and general education be established and maintained in which each is complementary to and compatible with the other. A leader and global citizen needs to be able to communicate with and cultivate compassion with those outside their own majors, disciplines, professions, communities, and cultures and to make connections between their own knowledge and perspectives and those of others.
Topics of Inquiry
Students must pass at least three credits of coursework in each of six Topics of Inquiry (TOI)
- TOI-1: Creativity: Design, Expression, Innovation
- TOI-2: Cultural Dimensions of Human Experiences
- TOI-3: Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice
- TOI-4: Environmental Literacy
- TOI-5: Individual Values and Social Institutions
- TOI-6: Science and Empirical Inquiry
- TOI-6L: Science and Empirical Inquiry (Laboratory Courses)
Requirements
- At least three credits must be passed in each Topic of Inquiry (most courses fulfill two).
- Students must also satisfy a Focus requirement by successfully completing either three courses in a single Topic of Inquiry or three courses within a Theme.
- Topic of Inquiry courses may be counted toward the major.
- Including the Focus requirement, students must pass at least 21 credits of TOI courses.
- The 21 credits of TOI courses must be from at least six different subject areas as designated by subject code (e.g., ANTH). For cross-listed courses, students may count any subject code under which the course is offered toward this requirement regardless of the subject code under which they register for the course.
- Students must complete at least one laboratory course in TOI-6 (see TOI-6 for definition of laboratory class). This does not restrict courses outside TOI-6 from having laboratories, nor does it limit TOI-6 courses to be only laboratory courses.
- No more than six credits with the INTD prefix may be elected by any student to meet the Common Curriculum Requirements.
Topic of Inquiry Courses
All current General Education courses are being considered for transition to the Common Curriculum. At present, the following courses have been approved for these specific areas. Review is ongoing.

Competencies
The Common Curriculum requires students to complete competencies in quantitative skills, second language proficiency, and writing.
Quantitative (Q) Competency
All students must pass two Q courses, which may also satisfy Topic of Inquiry requirements. One Q course must be from Mathematics or Statistics. Students should discuss with their advisor how best to satisfy these requirements based on their background, prior course preparation and career aspirations. Students whose high school algebra needs strengthening should be encouraged to complete MATH 1011Q Introductory College Algebra and Mathematical Modeling, as preparation for other Q courses. To receive credit for MATH 1011Q Introductory College Algebra and Mathematical Modeling, it must be taken before successful completion of another Q course. In some cases, advisors may recommend postponing registration in a Q course until after the student has completed a semester of course work at the University.
Second Language Competency
Second Language competency is established by either:
- passing the third-year high school level course in a language other than English, or
- attaining a Seal of Bilteracy, or
- the second semester course in the first year sequence of college level study in a language other than English.
When the years of study have been split between high school and earlier grades, the requirement is met if the student has successfully completed the third year high school level course. With anything less than that, the student must pass the second semester course in the first year sequence of college level study in a single language.
Writing (W) Competency
All students must take either ENGL 1007 Seminar and Studio in Writing and Multimodal Composition or ENGL 1010 Seminar in Academic Writing or ENGL 1011 Seminar in Writing through Literature. Additionally, all students must take two writing-intensive (W) courses, which may also satisfy Topic of Inquiry requirements. One of these must be at the 2000-level and associated with the student’s major. Approved courses for each major are listed in their sections of this catalog. (Note: ENGL 1007 Seminar and Studio in Writing and Multimodal Composition or ENGL 1010 Seminar in Academic Writing or ENGL 1011 Seminar in Writing through Literature is a prerequisite to all writing-intensive courses).
Note on Additional Competencies
Two additional competencies – Information, Digital, and Media Literacy (IDML) and Dialogue - will be embedded in the curriculum.
