College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements

The College Breadth requirements are in addition to the University Breadth requirement. Up to 3 credits from each of the University Breadth Requirement categories may be used to simultaneously satisfy these College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements

Group A Creative Arts and Humanities. Nine credits representing at least two areas.

Group B History and Cultural Change. Nine credits representing at least two areas.

Group C Social and Behavioral Sciences. Nine credits representing at least two areas.

Group D Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology. A minimum of seven credits representing at least two areas including a minimum of one course with an associated laboratory.

If the grade earned is sufficient, a course may be applied toward more than one requirement (e.g., breadth and major requirements), but the credits are counted only once toward the total credits for graduation. If all but one course in a group has been taken in one department or program, a course cross-listed with that program will not satisfy the distribution requirement.
