I. Core Curriculum Requirements


II. College of Arts and Sciences Requirements


History requirement satisfied by HIST 3510 *
Modern Language 1150, 1250, 1350, or equivalent (15)

NOTE: All students with a major in the college of Arts and Sciences must demonstrate competency through the level of 1350 in a language other than English. This competency is ordinarily achieved by successful completion of the three-course sequence: 1150, 1250, 1350.  Because these courses are a college requirement, no courses in the sequence may be taken on a pass/fail, correspondence, or audit basis.  Placement into other than the beginning course of the sequence is achieved by acceptable performance on the Modern Language Competency Examination.  See the Modern Languages Department for details on the examinations.  Courses used to satisfy the College of Arts and Sciences modern language requirement may not be used to fulfill environmental studies major requirements.
