It was a requirement back in 90s when I attended USF. It’s a Florida thing. I was told it was justify the campuses being open year round. We were able to take classes near our homes at other Florida colleges or community colleges.you can also fill the requirement with study abroad or online courses. ( I’m old so back then we had Tele-courses which were on PBS at like 3amor you take them out of library on VHS.) lol
