The following four major domains of knowledge were delineated under the General Education guidelines approved by the University of Massachusetts Boston Faculty Council in 1998 and amended in 2006: Arts and Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics/Technology, and World Languages and Cultures. Courses approved for Distribution credit meet the course content criteria described below for one of these domains. Each college requires a different array of specific knowledge areas, including in some cases specific courses, to meet its own Distribution requirements. (Revised 2006)
