English Proficiency
All English courses taken, including those in the Basic Program, require a grade of C or better. A C- grade or less requires additional composition coursework.

1-Chosen from curriculum-approved lists. All electives must be taken for a grade. Pass-Not Pass grades are not acceptable.

2-Social sciences and humanities (SSH) electives chosen from curriculum-approved list. One of these must have a prerequisite of Psych 101 or a previously taken social sciences and humanities elective. Most students meet university requirements for diversity and international perspective by selecting appropriate courses from this area.

3-All English courses taken, including those in the basic program, require a C or better. C- or less requires additional composition course work. All electives must be taken for a grade. Pass/not pass credits are not acceptable.

*Core professional curriculum. A student must have a minimum grade-point average of 2.00 in this group of courses in order to graduate.
