Students may not use a course that is cross-listed with a subject area that has already been used to satisfy a university breadth requirement. Students enrolled in a single major may not satisfy the breadth requirement with courses in the subject area of that major (e.g. chemistry majors may not use CHEM courses). Students who are enrolled in more than one major or degree are allowed to meet the University breadth requirement by taking approved breadth courses from within the subject areas of their majors. The requirement may be fulfilled through a course or courses taken to complete other degree requirements, subject to the limitations above; however, credit hours may be counted only once towards the 120-credit hour minimum required for the degree.

Six credits of statistics is required, MATH 201 and MATH 202, each with a minimum grade of C- or better. Note that MATH 201 fulfills the Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Technology University breadth requirement above provided a C- minimum grade is earned. Foreign Language Requirement Students must demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language by completing the intermediate level course (107 or 112) in an ancient or modern foreign language. The number of credits and initial placement will depend upon the number of years of high school study of the foreign language. Any language courses taken to prepare the student for the intermediate level course may be applied as free electives. Related Work Requirement Nine credits chosen from any 00-level or higher courses in Accounting, Anthropology, Business Administration, Computer Sciences (except CISC 55 and CISC 56), Finance, Geography, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Statistics.

5 208, any 200-level or above MISY courses, and MATH221 or MATH241 and any 200-level or above Mathematics courses requiring calculus as a pre-requisite except MATH08. Courses may be used to satisfy both breadth requirements and related work requirements simultaneously, however, the credits may count only once toward the 120 credits needed to graduate. Free Electives Free elective courses may be taken in any department to bring the number of total credits to the required 120 needed for graduation. Free elective courses may be taken on a pass/fail basis, but no more than one course per semester may be taken pass/fail in addition to courses only offered pass/fail. No more than 8 courses total (24 credit hours) may be taken on a pass/fail basis. *A maximum of 45 credits in Economics courses may be applied to the degree. *A maximum of credits of BHAN 120 may be applied to the degree.
