Course Numbering System: The lists above contain lower division courses that are numbered (1000-2999) and are generally introductory in nature. Upper division courses are numbered (3000-4999) and generally represent a more in-depth focus.
Student Requirements: Students are required to take two classes in three of the four Intellectual Explorations (IE) areas (Fine Arts; Humanities; Physical, Life Sciences; Applied Sciences) that are not associated with the student's major. Please consult with an advisor to learn which IE areas apply to specific programs of study.Some courses that satisfy General Education and Bachelor Degree Requirements may be cross listed, which means that they are the same course, but offered by two or more departments. For example PHIL 2510 is cross listed with BIOL 2510. For all intents and purposes these are considered the same course. If a student took PHIL 2510, and later took BIOL 2510, for graduation purposes, this would be considered repeating the same course: no further graduation requirements would be satisfied, and only the second grade would be recorded on the student’s record.
