Liberal Arts Electives for Limited Access Majors
Students majoring in Advertising-Public Relations, Journalism, and Radio-Television are required to
complete 80 hours outside of the disciplines represented within the Nicholson School of Communication

(CAH) and the College of Science (COS), excluding Communication. Transfer course work used to
satisfy NSC courses must be approved by a NSC advisor.
Listed below are the departments and programs under the College of Arts and Humanities (CAH) and the
