  3. Overview • Foundations • Breadth Areas • Cultures (diversity requirement) • New Freshman Seminar • Interdisciplinary Studies • Total Requirements • No overlap: 15 courses • Max overlap: 10 courses

  4. Foundations • Written Fluency (2 courses) • Eng 101; Eng 102 (theme-based) • Reasoning & Argumentation (1 course) • RA 101 • Quantitative Literacy (1 course)  • QL 101   • Oral Communication (1 course) • SPC 105

  11. Interdisciplinary Studies • Smaller class sizes: 25 students/instructor • Taught by any two faculty from different Breadth Areas • Analytical reading & writing component

  12. BA vs. BS • Bachelor of Arts: • 8 courses in fine arts, humanities, or communications (LC, FPA, HELP) • Includes minimum of 2 sequenced courses in a foreign language • Bachelor of Science: • 8 courses in sciences (SS, PS, LES) • Includes a minimum of 2 lab courses
