Two Flags

Students also must satisfy two flags in addition to the credit hours listed in the chart above. A flag constitutes a significant portion of a course in any discipline that is devoted to one of the two topics. Flagged courses are approved by the committee or subcommittee devoted to each flag topic. A single course can fulfill two flags. Flagged courses often double count for other courses in the core, for major requirements, and/or for minor requirements, and thus do not add to the total number of credit hours required in the Core Curriculum.

• Diversity (DCR)
• Ethics/Religion and Society (E/RS)

CORE 499

• All Bachelor degree students must successfully complete CORE 499 during their anticipated final semester as a requirement of their Bachelor degree.

Notes

• The Ethics/Religion and Society Focus also includes an E/RS flagged course.
• Literature and Moral Imagination can be fulifilled with CLAS 205 , ENGL 205 , FREN 205 , GERM 205 , or SPAN 205 .
• Old Core Science course with lab must be in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Psychology for a total of 3 credits.
• Humanities Elective can be satisfied by one course from any of the following categories: All Classics except 205, ENGL 121+ except 205, FREN 300+, GERM 300+, HIST 200+, PHIL 300+, SPAN 300+, or THEO 300+. The Humanities Elective may not double count as an E/RS flag (though may be an E/RS flagged course). While all Theology courses 200 and above count as Theological Perspectives, and all Theology courses 300 and above also count for Humanities Electives, no Theology course can double-count for both Theological Perspectives and Humanities Elective.
• Old Core Natural Science course must be a minimum of 3 credits in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. This requirement includes a lab.
