Core Curriculum

Bridgewater State College's Core curriculum (formerly known as general education courses) was developed to serve as the educational foundation that all Bridgewater State College students will build upon when completing their program of study.  Students who complete the BSC Core curriculum will learn a significant body of factual knowledge as well as gain an understanding of the intellectual foundations, conceptual frameworks, and methodologies of the major academic disciplines.

Each institution requires a set of Core/General Education requirements. Core/General Education credits transferred to Bridgewater State College will be applied to the appropriate academic discipline. For example, if you are transferring in a course entitled Principles of Biology, that course will be applied to the Core science area. To learn more about each area and the courses specific to each area, access and print the Core Curriculum Guide located on the Core Curriculum Web site.

If you are wondering what course or courses you should take at your current institution, confur with our B.E.A.R.S. (Bridgewater Equivalency and Articulation Report System) program. The B.E.A.R.S. program displays courses that have previously been established as equivalent coursework from another insitution. Courses not found in this database may be transferable and will be considered upon a student's application and admission to Bridgewater State College.
