Specific Requirements

In addition to the general requirements for baccalaureate degrees of the university, candidates for the B.S. degree must complete the group requirements as follows.

Typically, a class may be attributed towards satisfying a requirement within only one Group. For instance, a student may complete a mathematics course and use that to satisfy a requirement within Group I, within Group IIIA, or within Group V, but the student cannot use that one class to satisfy all three. Exceptions to this policy are noted when applicable.

• Group I: Foundation for Effective Learning
• Group II: Intensive Writing
• Group III: Distribution
• Group IV: Diversity
• Group V: Major
