Footnotes:  
 

1. In the Marine Sciences concentration, the designated MEA courses constitute Advised Electives. This increases by one credit the requirement of the straight B.S. program. This increase is accommodated by decreasing free elective credits by one (to 4), keeping the minimum hours required for graduation at 121.

2. D grades are NOT accepted in CH 101, CH 201, CH 221, CH 223, CH 431, CH 433, ENG 101, MA 141, MA 241, MA 242, PY 205, PY 208.

3. Fitness and Wellness requirement can be met by taking any one of several PE 100 courses.

4. These courses, selected from University-approved General Education Requirements (GER) lists for Humanities and Social Sciences, must include the following: one course (3 hours) from Philosophy, Religion, or Visual and Performing Arts; two courses (6 hours) representing two different areas in Anthropology, Cultural Geography, Economics, Politics and Government, Psychology, and/or Sociology; one course (3 hours) from the Science,Technology and Society (Humanities and Social Sciences Perspective) list. At least one of the courses chosen to satisfy the Humanities and Social Sciences requirement must focus on a non-English speaking culture.

5. To be selected from GER Advanced Writing List.

6. This semester is deliberately light so that students will have time for research or other special projects and interests.

7. All students must demonstrate foreign language proficiency at the FL_ 102 level.
