* Transfer students with 30 or more hours may be waived from the CORE

** Although not considered a part of the Core Program, each student is
required to pass 3 interim term courses (one three semester hour course per
term) as part of the graduation requirements. Students may elect to complete 4
interim terms, and are encouraged to do so. Consult “Requirements for
Bachelor Degrees: A Summary” in this Bulletin for details.
PLACEMENT (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY )
Appropriate placement in certain courses is essential.
During the first few days on campus all students will participate in
placement evaluation inventories. These inventories are necessary for (1)
planning for majors and careers, (2) providing the comparison levels for
subsequent assessment of the Core Program curriculum, and (3)
determining current skill levels for placement purposes. Placement in
mathematics and English is based on skills assessment or standardized test
scores. Students who are not predicted to be successful in Mathematics
1101 are required to enroll in Mathematics 0100. This is a pre-Core
Program mathematics course, and credit in this course does not count
toward the fulfillment of the 46 hours of core requirements, but does count
toward hours required for graduation. English placement is based on scores
obtained on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Based on scores obtained,
students are placed in an appropriate section (standard or honors) of
English 1101 (see description of English program).
