General Education Requirements

GQ. Quantitative Reasoning Requirement Fall 2011 through Summer 2018

This page is for GE from 2011-2018. For information about the GE program beginning in Fall 2018, please see the GE homepage. See UH Hilo Catalog back issues for descriptions of older courses.

6 semester hours.

From the list of courses certified as meeting the GE Quantitative Reasoning requirements, students select a one semester lower-division course in Mathematics and a second course in Mathematics or another field. These courses enable students to understand the use of mathematical or symbolic concepts and require students to develop skills in chains of reasoning from data to conclusions.

  • These courses are certified as meeting the Quantitative Reasoning requirement effective Fall 2011 through Summer 2018.
  • Please note effective dates: a course must have been certified when you took the course to count towards the requirement.
  • Students using catalogs between 2011-2018 who wish to apply the Quantitative Reasoning requirement to courses not listed on this page must submit a "Request for Modification of Academic Requirement" form which can be found on the Office of the Registrar - Commonly Used Forms page.
