Faculty and Department Chairs review and approve course work and equivalencies that are acceptable in fulfillment of Approved Career Electives. The College of Applied Sciences and Arts Office of Off-Campus Academic Programs maintains and distributes listings of approved courses and equivalencies that may be applied to each degree s Approved Career Electives requirement. Students admitted to the College of Applied Sciences and Arts off-campus programs usually complete their University Core Curriculum and Approved Career Elective requirements at other post secondary institutions or through other, approved equivalencies. Students admitted to a major who lack the 31 or 42 semester hours of credit applicable to the Approved Career Electives must complete this requirement prior to graduation. It consists of 36 semester hours of course work delivered in a classroom setting and 12 semester hours of laboratory, independent study, or internship.
All major courses are three semester hours and are offered only once in each sixteen-month cycle.
The course work in each of College of Applied Sciences and Arts' four majors is specific to the degree major, presumed to be unique in content, and not likely to be duplicative. The student must have earned a passing letter grade for the course, and the course credit must be equal to or greater than three semester hours. The 48 semester-hour major for each of the four degrees is listed below.
