Elective (Core Curriculum)

Courses needed to fulfill the university core curriculum requirements, including 6 hours of U.S. History, 3 hours of Creative Arts, and 3 hours of Social and Behavioral Sciences electives. The Multicultural requirement must also be satisfied. This can be done by either completing an approved study abroad program, including assessment by the Study Abroad Office, or by taking a course from the multicultural list. If taking a multicultural course, it is recommended that the course also meet either the Creative Arts or Social and Behavioral Sciences requirement, thus fulfilling both core requirements.
