NOTE: The specication of the domain [i.e., GE (AH), GE (SSP) and GE (MST) of the GE courses for any
semester is intended primarily to help the students keep track of the number of GE units he/she has taken in
each domain. Nothing in this document therefore prevents a student, for example, from taking a GE course
in the AH or NSM domain, when the checklist provides a GE (SSP) course for a particular year or semester, so
long as the number of required GE units in each domain is complied with.
