In addition to the requirements stated in the General Education Core, BA degree candidates must select additional courses as described below. They must obtain a minimum grade of D– in all courses used to fulfill the distribution requirements. There is no limit to the number of hours a student may take in any one discipline. In some rare instances, it is possible to "double dip" BA Distribution courses with some General Education Core courses and major courses.  When "double dipping," the minimum grade required is the higher of the two.  The additional distribution requirements are as follows:

• Central Ideas, Issues and Methods of Inquiry in the Natural Sciences - In addition to the five credit hours required for the campus general education program, choose one additional course for a minimum total of 8 credit hours in the natural sciences. One course must be in the life sciences and one course must be in the physical sciences.
