To earn a baccalaureate degree a student must complete (1) University requirements, (2) University Studies - General Education requirements, (3) University Writing Requirement, (4) Race & Ethnic Studies Requirement, (5) specific requirements for the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Applied Science Degree, (6) requirements for a major, and (7) Second Language competency if admitted with a High School Second Language Deficiency. Students earning a single major in Liberal Studies, or completing the Urban Honors program do not need to meet the University Studies General Education requirements.
Students bear final responsibility for ensuring that the courses taken are applicable toward satisfying their degree requirements.
Minors
A Minor is an optional, undergraduate credential. It is a formal, defined set of courses in a declared secondary subject area/field of study, distinct from and outside of the student's degree major, in which knowledge is gained in a coherent pattern of courses. A minor is intended to supplement the major field of study, and as part of a baccalaureate degree program may only be awarded at the same time the baccalaureate degree is awarded. A minor is posted to the official transcript, but does not print on the diploma.
