Notes

Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” can apply towards the Social Sciences requirements but they cannot apply towards the 61 Arts & Sciences credits required to graduate (unless the courses are cross-listed with the College of Arts & Sciences).

Some courses fulfill more than one requirement. In those cases, students receive credit only once, but the course can apply to multiple requirements. For example, a Social Sciences course may also count as a Global Experience course if it appears on both lists.
