Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

NOTE: The courses below are used to fill in the General Education requirements noted in the above four-year sequence. Students must take 12 credits total from Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences. Computer Science Majors take IDS 2144, which counts for 3 hours from the Humanities optional list. Three additional hours must come from the Humanities required list.

In Social Sciences, three must come from the required list. An additional three credits may come from any other general education Arts and Humanities or Social Science course.

Students must fulfill the Civic Literacy requirement and the University’s history requirement. While AMH 2020 satisfies both requirements, if students have satisfied the Civics Literacy requirement in some other way, they are encouraged to take a different AMH course. Fulfilling the Civics Literacy requirement independent of AMH 2020 does not satisfy the state’s core requirement for social sciences: one of the required social science courses must still be taken.

Arts and Humanities

Computer Science majors must select one from the required list and IDS 2144.

Course NameCredits:Term TakenGradeGen Ed

Required, one from the following:

ARH 2000 - Art Appreciation Credits: 3
HUM 2020 - Introduction to the Humanities Credits: 3
