Core Curriculum Course List

To complete core curriculum requirements, you must select courses from the subject area lists that follow. These same courses fulfill general education requirements.

Note that some courses are listed in more than one component area. The same course may not be used to satisfy more than one area. When they are taken, courses listed in two areas are first used to satisfy the named component area (e.g., Language, Philosophy, and Culture) requirements. When that component area of the Core Curriculum has been satisfied, then any other relevant course that is taken is applied toward meeting the Component Area Option.
