IMPORTANT NOTES:
The sequence of General Education courses is an example only; they may be taken in any order.
Consult advisor for current schedule of department electives.
This sequence requires more free electives than shown on the work program because it includes the
course 90.101 and 40.121 which are required for the major option but also count as Group B courses.
Two of the courses selected for the Major, General Education OR Free Elective must also qualify as
Diversity courses. See list of Diversity Courses and consult advisor.
