Special notes

  • This degree is a non-comprehensive major and a minor or second major is required.
  • PHI 115 is highly suggested as it double counts towards Public Issues and towards the BA requirements.
  • HST 103 or 104 is highly suggest as it double counts towards Humanities and towards the BA requirements.

Tips for success

  • THE 130 and THE 150 should be taken as soon as possible as they are the prerequisites for a number of courses.
  • A number of courses are only offered every other semester or every other year. Please be mindful of these periodicities and visit your advisor often to stay on track.
