COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES

Academic Policies (Added March 26, 1999)

No more than 48 units within the major may be applied toward the BA or BS degree. That applies to Honors courses in the major and courses cross-listed with an academic committee or center. Excluded from the 48-unit rule are freshman composition, the first year (elementary) of a foreign language (see department headings for exceptions) and courses cross-listed with a second academic department if the latter is the home department.

General Education Program

All undergraduate students are required to complete a common general education program. Designed to provide a foundation for university learning, the program develops students’ creative and analytical skills and integrates knowledge across university disciplines.

General Advising

Each department in the College of Humanities has major advisors that are available to answer your questions regarding admission to the major, registration planning, transfer credit, internships, and degree checks.

General education advising for all majors takes place in the College of Humanities Academic Advising Center.  

The advising center also provides information about college and University policies and procedures, declaration of major and minor, student-initiated petitions, student academic progress, and educational decision-making.
