Note: In some cases, the above courses may satisfy requirements for both the major and the core. In addition, some of the above courses may be offered with related, optional 1-credit workshops or “topics” courses for which students may register. These courses count as liberal arts.

*Starting with the Fall 2018 semester, students who are admitted to the Bachelor’s degree program (see p. 23— Baccalaureate Transfer and Matriculation) may complete the following modified American Studies core requirement: Students may take one designated history survey course (GHSN) plus one additional course in American Studies (either GHSN or GPLN). Students who were admitted to the Bachelor’s degree program prior to Fall 2018 may also choose this option if they have not already completed this requirement. The following courses are designated as survey courses:
• GHSN 105 History of the U.S. from Settlement to 1877
• GHSN 106 History of the U.S. from 1877 to Present
• GHSN 335 America in Twentieth Century
• GHSN 202 Civilization of the Ancient World?
• GHSN 205 Emergence of the Modern World

** If a student is exempt from College Math, he or she is required to take another math course.
