NOTES:
  1. ENGL 104 and 210 or 301 satisfy the communication requirement for the University Core Curriculum.
  2. Freshman science courses are to be selected from BIOL 111; BIOL 112; CHEM 101 or CHEM 103/113; CHEM 102 or CHEM 104/114. Any 8 hours of these science courses satisfies the natural sciences requirement for the University Core Curriculum.
  3. Select 3 hours of English literature which fulfills the humanities requirement of the University Core Curriculum. Select 3 hours from the visual and performing arts courses to fulfill the University Core Curriculum requirement.
  4. A 15–18-hour minor field of study should be chosen in conference with a departmental advisor. Three hours of electives must be chosen from the approved University Core Curriculum list for social and behavioral sciences. In addition, 6 hours of courses must be in the area of international and cultural diversity. These may be in addition to other University Core Curriculum courses, or if a course in this category satisfies another area of the Core, it can be used to meet both requirements. Students desiring teacher certification should consult the requirements for certification before registering for electives.
  5. Nine of the twelve hours of math elective courses are to be from any 400- or 600-level MATH, excluding MATH 401 and 601. The last three hours can be from any 400- or 600-level MATH (excluding MATH 401 or 601), any 400-level STAT, CPSC 210 or higher, or any 400-level INEN, excluding any 485 course in any department without permission of a departmental advisor. Students wishing to be certified must take MATH 403 and 467. Students who plan to attend graduate school are encouraged to take MATH 416, 447 and at least one 600-level course.
