General Education (GE) Courses
Linguistics has courses approved in many General Education (GE) categories.
Most students must complete the New GE (GEN) requirements. Legacy GE (GEL) requirements are exclusively for students who have been continuously enrolled at Ohio State since prior to AU22, or students who have successfully petitioned to complete the GEL. Students with questions about their GE requirements should consult their academic advisor.
For descriptions of these courses, see the undergraduate courses page.
