While there are many differences, some of the key changes would include:
-
The foreign language component has been changed from a general education requirement in USP to a proficiency-based requirement that must be completed prior to graduation
-
USP required more than 40 credit hours to satisfy, whereas UK Core requires 30 credit hours (or equivalency)
-
There is no math ACT/SAT opt-out for the Quantitative Foundations requirement in UK Core
More information can be obtained by viewing the Office of the Registrar's University Bulletin pages for each program - University Studies Program (USP) or UK Core.
