To complete the 42 semester credit hours of core curriculum requirements, you must select courses from the subject areas listed below. These same courses fulfill general education requirements. To make sure you are taking the appropriate core curriculum or general education courses, meet with your Area of Study advisor or instructional department’s program advisor.

Note: Some courses are listed in more than one subject (component) area. The same course may not be used to satisfy more than one area. When they are taken, courses listed in two areas are first used to satisfy the named subject area (e.g., Language, Philosophy, and Culture) requirements. When that subject area of the core curriculum has been satisfied, then any other relevant course that is taken is applied toward meeting the Component Area Option requirement.
