for the 21st Century
FSU undergraduate students must complete the State of Florida’s Civic Literacy requirement prior to receiving their bachelor’s degree.
Students can satisfy the Civic Literacy requirement by doing one of the following:
IB and AICE test credits do not fulfill the Civic Literacy requirement.
State legislature mandates that passing the US Naturalization Test (or offering proof of a Certificate of Naturalization) does not fulfill the Civic Literacy requirement.
The State of Florida Board of Governors has ruled that successful completion of POS1041, American National Government or AMH2020, A History of the United States Since 1877 does not meet the State requirement if the course was taken as a dual enrollment course prior to Fall 2018. The courses offered prior to this time are not seen as meeting the competencies mandated for the Civic Literacy requirement.
The Civic Literacy Exam is available at the FSU Testing Center at no charge!
