General Education/Humanities - 9 credits*

General Education/Social Science I & II - 6 credits**

General Education/Art - 3 credits

BIOL 1001 General Biology - 3 credits or BIOL 1201 Biology for Science Majors I - 3 credits

In addition to the above requirements, a total of three natural science courses and two corresponding lab courses must be taken. One science course must be either BIOL 1001 (General Biology I) or BIOL 1201 (Biology for Science Majors I), as listed above. A sequence of two science courses and their corresponding lab courses are also required. This sequence must be from a choice of physics, chemistry, astronomy, or geology (e.g., you can take Physics I and Physics I Lab one semester, then take Physics II and Physics II Lab another semester; you can take Chemistry I and Chemistry I Lab one semester, then take Chemistry II and Chemistry II Lab another semester; etc.) Please note that sequences or courses in geography or physical science will NOT count towards the science requirement.

*One three-credit course must be either English (other than 1001 or 2000) or an honors course. One three-credit course must be a Communications Studies course. The last three-credit course can be any general education humanities course.
