- two non-Liberal Studies 100- or 200-level science courses with laboratory or applied components in two different disciplines.

- Students with 15.1 - 29.9 credit hours are eligible to take a First-Year Seminar, but it is not required.
- Students with 30 or more credit hours are not eligible to take First-Year Seminar.
- Students who do not take First-Year Seminar must take another 3-hour Liberal Studies course in the Core or Perspectives to meet the 42-hour total for Liberal Studies.

The remainder apply to program, major or elective hours outside of Liberal Studies. UpperLevel Perspectives (3 hours) 300-400 Level Courses
*One course required in any Perspectives category outside the major.
Students should not enroll in courses numbered above their class rank without permission of the department offering the course.
NOTE: A course approved as a Liberal Studies Perspectives course may be used to meet a major requirement. However, when a Perspectives course meets a student’s major requirement, the credit hours for that course will not be counted toward the total of 18 hours of Liberal Studies Perspectives required of every student, although the Perspectives category requirement met by the course will be satisfied. In this situation, the student will take an additional elective Liberal Studies course in any Perspectives category outside of the major. The credit hours for this Liberal Studies elective course will count toward the 18 hours of Liberal Studies Perspectives. Credit hours will not count for both Liberal Studies Perspectives and for the major simultaneously. |
