Note

All-college requirements, such as liberal arts requirements and total credit hours toward graduation, have to be carefully monitored as part of the free elective and department elective selection process. Because the credit hours for individual courses vary from .5 credit hours to four credit hours, completing each elective course noted above will not guarantee that the student will also meet all of the degree requirements.
