The Core Curriculum Act mandates the state board of regents to establish general education requirements for undergraduate students at regents institutions. The requirements include specific coursework in various subjects such as English, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, western heritage, and American heritage, totaling no more than 37 semester credit hours. The bill also stipulates that institutions must provide equivalent credit for transfer students and outlines additional standards for course content, ensuring that courses do not distort historical events or promote identity politics.

Furthermore, the Act allows for exceptions to the general education requirements for students in degree programs designated as three years or less, and the board has the authority to waive requirements for complex fields of study. The bill includes provisions for enforcement, allowing individuals to report potential violations to the attorney general, who can take action to ensure compliance. The requirements will apply to students enrolling in regents institutions starting from the academic year beginning on or after July 1, 2027.
