Yes, I agree. As I said only six credits of math and natural science are required but more can be taken (in intellectual and practical skills electives, for instance, as you mentioned). I was commenting on the requirement being lower, but I agreed with you that someone can take more than the requirement. I still think the requirement is too low. But I also think that more, such as statistics and computers, would be added as requirements for certain degrees.

I did not know about the ECE in Cultural Diversity. That is very useful for these new requirements. I am glad you mentioned it. Yes, there are CBE options for ethics, I mentioned them in my earlier post. I also am not sure what would qualify as responsible and ethical leadership versus personal and social responsibility elective. Both sound like ethics to me. I am not sure of the difference between them or what would qualify as which. The first might be more leadership and the second ethics?

Yes, the writing intensive course is English Comp. II. I don't know if the CLEP exam would qualify, though. Some colleges do not accept CLEP College Comp for their English Comp requirement. I am just uncertain because of the "writing intensive course" part, but they may accept the CLEP as always.

There may indeed be other tests that could satisfy the diversity/global literacy requirement, such as the ones you mention. That would be good, but we don't know yet.

The requirements of colleges near me are not easily fulfilled by CBEs, but it most likely will be different in this case. These requirements are generally not as tight. But we just don't know enough about the requirements or the tests that can be taken to satisfy them, yet.
