fc Denotes foundational curriculum courses.
* Courses needed to fulfill the university Core Curriculum requirements include:
- 3 additional hours of Political Science
- 6 hours of U.S. History
- 3 hours of Visual & Performing Arts
- 3 hours of Individual or Group Behavior
The 3 hour Multicultural requirement must also be satisfied. It is recommended that when choosing one of the other core electives students choose one from the multicultural list. This will meet both requirements without the student needing to take an extra course. For details, consult the Core Curriculum requirements in the online HTML version of the academic catalog located here.
