STEM courses with the Life and Physical Sciences (LP) and Scientific World (SW) requirement designation may satisfy only one Common Core area.
Any 300-level or above course in foreign literature or equivalent courses in other languages will satisfy this requirement. Some courses require reading knowledge of the language; others allow students without knowledge of the language to read the works in English translation.
If the 114-level language requirement has been met through testing or exemption, an additional TALA or social science course must be substituted.
Students must complete at least six credits in courses at the 200 level or higher.
Social Scientific Analysis (Social Science) and Textual, Aesthetic, and Linguistic Analysis (TALA) may also fulfill Contemporary World or Pluralism and Diversity.
