36-40 of these credits will be Intellectual Foundations Program (IFP) courses that are not directly related to your major, but are still required.

Bachelor’s Degree

To obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in the United States, students must meet requirements for both their major (field of study) and general education courses (non-major requirements known as IFPs at FAU).

Intellectual Foundations Program Requirements

All freshmen students and any transfer students with less than 30 credits must fulfill the University's IFP requirements as part of their pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree.While IFP courses do not necessarily relate to your major, they do provide a

foundation of knowledge that all well-educated students should possess.IFP courses are diverse, covering a wide variety of subjects within 6 categories:

Written Communication, Society & Human Behavior, Science, Math, Global Citizenship, and Humanities.

Major CoursesWritten Communication

Society & Human Behavior

Science & the Natural World

Math and Quantitative Reasoning

Global Citizenship Humanities Ratio of IFP CoursesCompared to Major Courses

ACADEMICS

IFP Course Breakdown The 36-40 credits of required IFP courses are broken down into 6

categories, as shown in the previous slide and pie chart. You are required to take a minimum of 2 classes in each IFP category.

Generally each class is worth 3 credits, unless noted otherwise. That means, in total, all FAU students must take 12 IFP courses.

IFP Timeline IFP courses must be completed during freshman (year 1) and

sophomore (year 2) year at FAU.

Navitas students have a total of 5 semesters (year 1=3 semesters and year 2=2 semesters) to complete their IFP course requirements.
