Six Exploration and Breadth (E&B) courses required: 1 from each of the four areas (Humanities, Natural Science, Social Science and Fine Arts). 2 additional courses from different areas and from different departments and must be different from any department selected in the first four. Any course with a prefix from your primary major cannot be used to satisfy an E&B requirement.

 Example for an Art major:

Humanities = English course                          Natural Science = Mathematics course          Social Science = Psychology course                Fine Arts = Theatre course

Additional 2 courses:                                      Another Humanities course from any department but English.                                  Another Social Science course from any applicable department except Psychology.

Six Exploration and Breadth (E&B) courses required: Take 1 course from each of the four areas (Humanities, Natural Science, Social Science and Fine Arts). Take two additional courses. Those two courses must be from different areas and different departments but are no longer tied to the first four.  Any course with a prefix from any declared major(s) cannot be used to satisfy an E&B requirement.

Example:

Humanities = English course                          Natural Science = Mathematics course          Social Science = Psychology course                Fine Arts = Theatre course

Additional 2 courses*:                                    Another Humanities course including English.                                                          Another Social Science including Psychology. 

A combination of credits can be utilized to meet an E&B requirement for any of the 6 courses or to meet the 30 credit Gen Ed rule.

The Fine Arts requirement allows for 3 credits of combined coursework (ensembles, music lessons, etc). The Humanities, Natural Science and Social Science courses, as well as the additional two E&B courses, cannot use multiple courses to satisfy the requirement and must be worth a minimum of 3 credits each.

Majors

Students are required to complete/count a minimum of 30 credits in each major as a graduation requirement.

The 30-credit minimum rule was removed from the list of graduation requirements. All majors are still required to include enough coursework to equal or exceed 30 credits.

Students are required to select a primary and secondary major when declaring more than one.

Primary and secondary majors no longer exist. It no longer matters which major comes first if a student has declared more than one major (with the exception of rules pertaining to BS, BSed and BM degrees**).

Courses from a major may be double counted in another area as long as the major still contains a minimum of 30 credits (exception: primary major courses may not be used in E&B).

With single or multiple majors, no major courses may be counted elsewhere except in the following areas: minors, certification areas or required supporting courses.

Paired majors: students may choose to pair two majors together and share 2-3 courses (as listed in the catalog), but no courses from either major can count in E&B or choose to double major so the secondary courses may count in E&B.

Students will not be permitted to “double major” if a paired major exists. No courses from any major may count in E&B so the need to label them as primary or secondary is not needed.

60% of the major courses must be taken at SU.
