Cultural Awareness Requirements for B.S.
Degrees - Curricula I
Students must complete the specified number of
courses in each of these areas, but may use these
courses to satisfy other degree requirements
except where specifically restricted.
Cultural Awareness (9 Hours)
A minimum of three courses, with at least one
course from each of the following:
1. a course treating in some specific way the
culture of the student’s foreign language
2. a course in North American studies
(excluding HIST 111 and HIST 112)
3. a course in a culture other than American
or Western European
A wide variety of courses can be considered under
the general category of “Cultural Awareness.”

Attachment 2.
Degrees - Curricula I
Cognate
The cognate is designed to support the major. The
cognate must consist of twelve (12) hours of
courses at the advanced level, outside of but
related to the major, and the cognate must be
approved by the major department through the
major advisor. The cognate may be taken in one or
more departments or degree programs, depending
on the interests of the student and the judgment of
the advisor. In certain cases, cognate courses may
be selected from the professional schools.

Cognates must be selected from outside
the student’s major program.
It should be emphasized that the cognate is not a
second set of elective courses to be chosen at
random by the student. The cognate must be
approved by the advisor as being related to the
major field of study. The Office of Undergraduate
Academic Affairs will not recognize cognates that
have not been approved by the major department.
Students are urged to consult their departmental
advisors for specific requirements in their major.
All cognate courses must be passed with a grade
of C or higher.
Minor
In place of the cognate a student in the College of
Arts and Sciences may choose a minor consisting
of at least 18 credit hours of prescribed courses.
The subject area of the minor may be related to the
major. Students pursuing interdisciplinary minors
who wish to use courses in their major department
for minor credit must petition the College
Committee on Scholastic Standards and Petitions
for permission to do so.
The minor is intended to develop a coherent basic
preparation in a second area of study. It differs
from the cognate inasmuch as the courses must be
concentrated in one area and must follow a
29
Attachment 2.
structured sequence. Interdisciplinary minors can
be designed with the approval of the dean.




Courses applied toward general education
requirements cannot be counted toward
the minor.
No course may satisfy both major and
minor requirements.
All minor courses must be passed with a
grade of C or higher.
At least half of the courses in the minor
must be completed in residence at the
University.
Electives for B.S. Degrees - Curricula I
Students should take note that the Bachelor of Arts
and Bachelor of Science degrees in Curricula
Section I require a minimum of 120 semester hours
in academic subjects. (Other degrees may require
more than 120 semester hours.)
No courses of a remedial, developmental, skillacquiring, or vocational nature may apply as credit
toward degrees in the College of Arts and
Sciences. The College of Arts and Sciences allows
the use of the Pass-Fail option on elective courses.

than one subject area. For degrees in Curricula
Section II, grades of D are acceptable for
completion of the cognate requirement. Courses
applied toward general education requirements
cannot be counted toward the cognate.
