Tier II

To ensure exposure to broad areas of knowledge, all students are required to complete a total of 30 credit hours from an approved list of courses in the following five distribution areas:

• Applied Science and Technology (2A)
• Cross-Cultural Perspectives (2C)
• Humanities and Fine Arts (2H)
• Natural Sciences and Mathematics (2N)
• Social Sciences (2S)

You are required to take at least four credit hours in four of the five areas and may satisfy no more than two of the required four areas with courses from the same department. You may satisfy no more than 12 of the 30 hours with courses from the same department.

You may apply one approved Tier II course in your major department toward partial fulfillment of the Tier II requirement.
