Two courses promoting an understanding of other places, cultures, and societies. Two courses in which oral assignments are a significant portion of the student's graded work. Four courses beyond the Goal 1 requirement. A major program within a single discipline requires at least thirty, but no more than forty, credits. In addition to majors in the traditional arts and sciences disciplines, the College offers special major programs.
Many students complete two major programs to satisfy diverse personal interests.
Requirements for the major programs appear in the department entries of this Catalogue. A student and faculty advisor may also design a special major program by selecting, from two or more departments, courses that define a field of concentration. A proposal for a special major should be submitted during the sophomore or junior year and must be submitted before earning 15 credits in the proposed major program. Electives Students must complete enough additional courses to accumulate 120 semester credits, exclusive of the required two credits of physical education. No student in a regular B.A. or B.S. program may count more than 55 credits in a single discipline toward the 122 credits required for graduation.
