1. Mathematical Sciences. Six Hours. Two courses, one from each of the following groups. GRP 801 Mathematics I. One course in mathematics fulfills this requirement. GRP 802 Mathematics II. Students in anthropology (general), arts studies, communication, English, French, history, interdisciplinary programs, religious studies and Spanish fulfill this requirement by taking a second course in mathematics or a course in statistics or logic. Students in philosophy take a course in mathematics or statistics. Students in political science, anthropology (applied), and science, technology, and society take a course in mathematics to fulfill this requirement. MA 101 is a remedial course that may not be used to meet the GRP 801 or 802 mathematics requirement, nor for graduation credit in any capacity. MA 108 may not be used to meet the GRP 801 or 802 mathematics requirement, but it may be used as a free elective. For a freshman who places into MA 114 or one of the calculus courses MA 121, 131, or 141 at NC State, taking that course at NC State and earning a C or better on the first attempt will earn an extra three hours of mathematics credit. (The additional three hours of credit will not be given if a student attempts a lower level math course before taking MA 114, 121, 131, or 141 or if MA 114, 121, 131, or 141 is taken at another institution.) Credit is not given for more than one MA 121, 131, or 141. Students will not be given credit for MA 111 if they have taken MA 107 or MA 108.

2. Basic Natural Sciences. Eight Hours. GRP 803 Basic Sciences (2 different). Students must receive credit for introductory laboratory courses in two of the following four areas: (1) physics (PY), (2) chemistry (CH), (3) earth sciences (MEA, FOR, SSC), and (4) biological sciences (BO, BIO, and ZO). Courses that meet this requirement include: BO 200; BIO 105/106, 181, 183; CH 100, 101/102, 201/202; FOR 221; MEA 100, 101/110, 102/111, 120/121, 130/135, 150, 200/210; PY 123/125, 123/126, 124/125, 124/126, 131, 133, 201, 202, 205, 208, 211, 212; SSC 200; ZO 150, 212. A student may not receive credit for both BIO 105/106 and BIO 181; CH 100 may not be taken for credit if the student has previously received credit for CH 101. BIO 181, CH 101/102, PY 205, and PY 211 each is the first part of a two-semester sequence; students should not take the first part of the sequence unless they intend to complete the sequence.

14. Foreign Language Proficiency. Three hours.  GRP 509 Foreign Language 201. CHASS offers courses in 15 non-English languages: Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Urdu. Courses are listed under these course prefixes: FLA, FLC, FLF, FLG, FLH, FLI, FLJ, FLN, FLP, FLR, FLS, GRK and LAT. All CHASS B.S. degree programs require study of one foreign language through at least the first semester of the intermediate level (201-level course). English majors are required to complete through the 202 level, and French and Spanish majors complete more advanced courses in the language of their major. For placement information, high school students should take the SAT II – Foreign Language Test in the foreign language they have studied in high school. Alternatively, students may take the Advanced Placement (AP) Foreign Language or Literature exam, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Foreign Language or Classical Language exam (Higher Level), or the NC State Foreign Language Placement Test for foreign language placement. The NC State Foreign Language Placement Test is offered in French, German, Latin and Spanish. Opportunity to take it is provided during New Student Orientation and at other times. Students may take the NC State Foreign Language Placement Test only one time in a given language. Students who wish to complete the CHASS foreign language requirement in a language different from the language of their high school foreign language proficiency are not required to take a foreign language placement test. Native speakers of languages other than English do not receive credit for lower division (100- and 200 level) courses in their native language. For these students, a 201 level foreign language course is not a graduation requirement; their foreign language requirement is replaced by a 3-credit free elective. Students must enroll in foreign language at the level at which they are placed. Students who take a 101 level course in the language of their high school foreign language proficiency will not receive graduation credit for the course. 102- and 110-level language courses may count as free electives in all CHASS curricula. Students who place into a 202-level or higher language course will have met the CHASS foreign language requirement and are eligible to receive three hours of advanced placement credit by enrolling in the course into which they are placed and earning a grade of C- or better on the first attempt.
