All bolded courses meet general education requirements.
*Students who earn an English ACT score of 27, or a written SAT score of 550, can opt out of EH 101.
** Must have one history elective and one literature elective. In addition, students must choose a second history or literature to complete a two-part sequence. For ISEuropean Studies, a History of Western Civ. sequence is recommended.
*** Major electives can also include courses focusing on contemporary Europe or European country approved by advisor. Major elective choices can not duplicate courses a
student has already taken.
All Arts and Sciences majors require a minor between 18 and 24 hours. This plan incorporates a 21 hour minor (seven 3 hr courses).
Two designated writing (W) courses are required with at least one course chosen from offerings in the student's major or minor. Courses carrying this required credit are
identified in the University Bulletin by a (W) after the course title.
The Sample 4-year plan is designed as a guide for students preparing for their course selections. This information provides only a suggested schedule. Actual course
selections should be made in consultation with an advisor.
