Total for Graduation
*MATH 12001 (Algebra & Trigonometry) is a prerequisite which the student with sufficient background should bypass. MATH 12001 may be waived by obtaining permission from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science or by passing the placement exam.

**Two Diversity courses are required. One must be selected from the LER program in either the Humanities & Fine Arts or Social Sciences. If both diversity courses can be applied toward the LER requirements, then 18 hours of general electives may be selected. Students are encouraged to select one Diversity course addressing domestic issues and one Diversity course addressing global issues.
