SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
General Arts and Sciences Curriculum
A minimum of 124 credits is needed for the Bachelor of Arts degree in General Arts and Sciences. Students must earn a grade of C or better in each 300- and 400-level course in the major field.
General Arts and Sciences majors choose one of four options for study:
-
Humanities
-
Liberal Studies
-
Science/Mathematics
-
Social and Behavioral Sciences
These options are general enough that most majors can craft their program around one. Students select 24 credits from a variety of courses to meet upper-division requirements for the option. And they work closely with an adviser to tailor an option plan so that it reflects serious thought, demonstrates a coherent goal, and meets career goals.
Students must schedule a First Year Seminar during their first semester and Rhetoric and Composition during their first year. Beyond that, a student and an adviser work together to meet General Education, college, and major requirements in communication, natural science, math, health and physical education, art, humanities, foreign language, and social and behavioral sciences.
