IMPORTANT NOTES:

The sequence of General Education courses is shown as an example only; they may be taken in any order. General Education Policy allows a student to double count one Communications, Quantitative or Values course as one Group A, B, or C. If using this option, take one additional Free Elective.

Students who take 52.123 rather than 40.156 may use 40.256 as the Quantitative Gened; 53.123 then counts as a Group C. Take an additional Free Elective if using this option. Total credits must equal 120 Always consult advisor before selecting Business and Finance Electives. One additional course selected for the Major, General Education OR Free Elective must also qualify as a Diversity course. See list of Diversity Courses and consult advisor. 062408
