Notes

1. It is strongly recommended that students take SCI 101 to satisfy the First Year Seminar requirement.
2. Every student must complete a three-credit multicultural course and a three-credit international course. Courses satisfying other requirements may simultaneously satisfy the multicultural and international requirements except one course cannot satisfy both the multicultural and the international requirements.
3. Every student will be encouraged to take the GRE Advanced Test in Mathematics.
4. Students are required to include a two-semester college-level foreign language course in their course of study or have two years of any foreign language at the high school level.
