It is the intent of Other Approved Courses that students experience a variety of disciplines rather than one field of study. Other Approved Courses should be taken from outside the students' area of concentration for the degree. The maximum total number of credits allowable for basic, developmental, or supportive courses under Federal Financial Aid guidelines is 36.
