How to count total requirements on this list: Some courses can be used to satisfy more than one requirement. For example, Ealc E100 may satisfy both Culture Studies A and an Arts & Humanities. In this case, you would check off two requirements. Be sure to count requirements and not the number of courses on this list. If a course fulfills more than one requirement, count all the requirements it meets. See the School of Journalism Bulletin for an explanation of requirements.
