The 3-hour multicultural requirement may be satisfied 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 two requirements.
