University Breadth Requirements

(For students beginning in Fall 2010 or later. A minimum grade C- is required for each course) . . .                         . . 12 credits total

 

Creative Arts and Humanities    (3 credits)

History and Cultural Change    (3 credits)

Social and Behavioral Sciences     (3 credits)

Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology    (3 credits) 

 

 

Note that students must take breadth courses from four different subject areas (e.g. the four- letter subject code ACCT, HIST, etc.). Students may not use a course that is cross-listed with a subject area that has already been used to satisfy a university breadth requirement. Students enrolled in a single major may not satisfy the breadth requirement with courses in the subject area of that major (e.g. chemistry majors may not use CHEM courses). Students who are enrolled in more than one major or degree are allowed to meet the University breadth requirement by taking approved breadth courses from within the subject areas of their majors. The requirement may be fulfilled through a course or courses taken to complete other degree requirements, subject to the limitations above.
