*General Education Elective: Courses may be in communications, mathematics, natural science, humanities, social science, physical education, or other areas that count toward the college's general education requirements. *Advisor Approved Elective: Courses that meet degree-specific requirements, which may include university, college, department requirements, and electives.

Requirements for the B.A. Degree:

Humanities. 6 credits (two courses) in addition to the minimum university-wide core requirement of 14 credits in humanities/social sciences.

Social Sciences. 3 credits (one course) in addition to the minimum university-wide core requirement of 14 credits in humanities/social sciences.

Foreign Language. 0-16 credits (zero-four courses), i.e., competence in one foreign language equivalent to that gained by the completion of four semesters of college courses (through the intermediate level). This requirement may be satisfied by the completion of either of the following options: (1) 16 credits or four high-school units in one foreign language, or (2) 12 credits in one foreign language, and one three-credit course in literature translated from the same language. The 12 credits may be satisfied by three high-school units in one foreign language.
