COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS
Writing: (minimum grade C-)             3

 

A second writing course involving significant writing experience including two papers with a combined minimum of 3,000 words to be submitted for extended faculty critique of both composition and content. This course must be taken after completion of 60 credit hours, and chosen from one of the following:

ENGL 312 Written Communications in Business                             3                                                                      

 

or                                                                                                                                                                                  ENGL 410 Technical Writing

 

 or
MATH 308


or
MATH 512

Foreign Language:                  0-12

 

Completion of the intermediate-level course (107 or 112) in a given language. Number of credits needed and initial placement will depend on number of years of high school study of foreign language. Students with four or more years of high school work in a single foreign language may attempt to fulfill the requirement in that language by taking an exemption examination.

 

 


College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements: 

(minimum grade C-)


The College Breadth Requirements are in addition to the University Breadth Requirement. Up to 3 credits from each of the University Breadth Requirement categories may be used to simultaneously satisfy these College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements 

A total of eighteen credits from Groups A, B and C is required with a minimum of six credits in each group.  The six credits from each group could be from the same area.

 


Group A:  Creative Arts and Humanities  6 Group B:  History and Cultural Change   6 Group C: Social and Behavioral Sciences 6 

 

 


MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
A grade of C- or better is required for major courses and related work. Students lacking adequate preparation for
MATH 242 should begin with MATH 241.

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.
