Dear colleagues,

The University of South Carolina is currently implementing a new set of 
General Education requirements, and any course a unit would like to 
have count towards fulfillment of these new requirements will need to 
submit these courses (whether previously existing or newly proposed) 
for vetting. 

Depending on the content of courses in our program, linguistics 
courses at the University of South Carolina may meet Humanities or 
Social Science distribution requirements. I would like to know what 
other university or college requirements linguistics courses at various 
institutions are used to satisfy (but not for major or minor). Are 
linguistics courses used elsewhere to meet requirements like Analytical 
Reasoning or Science/Scientific Literacy/Reasoning? If so, were these 
courses difficult to have designated this way, and how do these 
courses differ from other/similar introductory courses?

If there are sufficient responses and interest, I'll be happy to post a 
summary to the list.
