2. Distribution requirements
Students satisfy the distribution requirements
by completing one course in each of the five
divisions, except the division of his or her
primary major. A student is exempt from the
distribution requirement in the division of his/
her primary major. For the purpose of satisfying
the distribution requirement, students majoring
in the College of Business or the College of
Education are considered majors in Division
3, Social Sciences. Students majoring in the
College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences are
considered majors in Division 4, Natural
Sciences.
The following restrictions must be observed:
• Unless otherwise noted, only the courses
listed as follows may be counted toward a
fulfillment of the distribution requirements.
• A student may not fulfill the distribution
requirement with a course offered by the
department of his/her primary major.
• A student may not fulfill the distribution
requirement with more than one course
offered by the same department.
• Students with double or split majors are
exempted from only one of their major
divisions in the distribution requirement.
• Distribution courses in divisions one
through four, except PS201 and some
300-level PL and RL courses, do not have
other courses as prerequisites. However,
students should consult their advisors to
determine the best order in which to take
core courses.
• Prior to fulfilling the Division 5 requirement,
all students shall demonstrate proficiency
by passing:
1) A placement examination given by the
Department of Mathematics and
Actuarial Science; or
2) An appropriate algebra or pre-calculus
course. This requirement must be
completed during the first year.
Due to the implementation of the new core,
some classes listed may no longer be offered or
may be offered under a different number.
