Required Supporting Courses (19-21 credits)
At least four courses must be at the 300-/400-level.
A list of already-approved classes is included below, but other appropriate courses can be substituted as major or minor Supporting Courses. Final decisions are made by the Department Chair in consultation with the advisor and/or student. Students should consult with their departmental advisor to select a diverse range of courses across disciplines and time periods within the context of the students’ career goals and interests.
Students can count no more than two classes from the same course code among the Supporting Courses, beyond any in the Core requirements. (For example, a student could take two more History courses from the supporting requirements.) None of the Core Courses can be counted as Supporting Courses. In addition, no more than two courses/credits of the Supporting Courses should be counted for major/minor credit in another program without approval of the Department Chair.
