General Education Requirements for Capella Bachelor's Students

Already have your general education requirements met? Don't forget Sophia courses can also fulfill your elective requirements.

16+29=45

You need 45 quarter credits to meet your general education requirements. This must include a minimum of 4 quarter credits from each of the following categories: Communication, Humanities, Natural Science and Mathematics, and Social Science. Then you you’re free to choose 29 additional quarter credits from any of the categories

Sophia = Extra Credits for Capella Students

If you take two 4.5 credit Sophia courses from the same category, you'll not only meet that general education category credit requirement, you'll also have 3 extra credits to apply to the 21 general education credits required for your degree.

Here's an Example

You need 6 Humanities credits. You take Sophia's Introduction to Ethics and Approaches to Studying Religions for a total of 9 credits. 6 credits meet the Humanities credit requirement while the remaining 3 count toward the 21 additional general education credits you need for your degree*. Score!

*Consult with your Academic Advisor about your specific degree plan requirements.

Microbiology Microbiology
by Latoya B. on March 27, 2024
Honestly, the course was challenging. Understanding Microbiology is not easy. Alot of dedication and not giving up was poured into this course. If I had to retake this course over again, I would. I'm so happy I passed this course. Sophia is truly an affordable blessing! If your currently enrolled, no matter how challenging it maybe, don't give up.

Macroeconomics Macroeconomics
by Sarkis G. on March 26, 2024
The statement in unit 4, challenge 3.3 that global poverty is higher than ever is BRUTAL, i cant believe this is in a macroeconomics class... "Poverty is nothing new. However, we would hope that over time, there would be an improvement in this area and that fewer people in the world would be living in a state of poverty. Unfortunately, the opposite is the case. It has become almost like a global epidemic. So, why are more people impoverished today than ever? The gap between the rich and the poor is growing. Also, we see inequalities in terms of access to health care and education—both of which would help to lessen the gap between the rich and the poor, as well as decrease poverty." Anywhere you can find that this is not true... https://www.gapminder.org/data/documentation/epovrate/
