TIPS FOR CHOOSING COURSES: Choose your W and M requirements from the list of Recommended Introductory Courses. It is possible to satisfy the W requirement when you complete the Humanities requirement. It is possible to satisfy the M requirement when you complete the Science requirement. Your Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences selections can also be used to fulfill the five subject field requirements. E.g. PSYC 1200 is 6 credit hours of Social Sciences or ENGL 1200 is 6 credit hours of Humanities and satisfies the W requirement. Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) credit may be used to reduce the first year course load and as a prerequisite to 2000 level courses, where applicable. Contact your academic advisor for information and possible permission to register in upper level courses. An Interfaculty Option in Aging is available to students in this faculty.
