Notes
- Distribution: Double or interdisciplinary majors need only take 1 additional course in a division not represented by their majors.
- AB math majors may count an STSC or second lab science as fulfilling one of their out of division requirements.
- STSC: Science and Technology in a Social Context; An STSC course is a science or engineering course without a lab that addresses a scientific or technologic issue of timely importance. STSC courses must have a rubric from a department in either the Natural Science or Engineering division; must have a Natural Science lab course as a pre-requisite; must be designed for students who are not science or engineering majors.
- Global and Multicultural: One of the GM courses will satisfy GM1 and the other will satisfy GM2 learning outcomes.
- Overlap: There are minimal restrictions on overlap of requirements.
- Values: The “V” course designation applies to courses with learning outcome GS5: Construct and evaluate answers to questions of moral and political concern (questions of morally correct conduct, justice, and social policy, e.g.) via rational deliberation and based on solid evidence.
- At least one W course taken in the major department, and one W outside of the major department; students are strongly encouraged to take a writing course outside of their division as well.
- FYS: The FYS will incorporate the learning outcomes for information literacy; students will make further progress towards these outcomes in other courses in the CCS and their major.
