Cultural Awareness Requirements
Students must complete the specified number of courses in each area listed below, but may use the courses to satisfy other degree requirements (i.e., General Education, Minor or Cognate, and Elective) except where specifically restricted. Students and their advisors should plan the Cultural Awareness Requirements carefully. Major department advisors have final approval on courses selected to meet Cultural Awareness Requirements for their advisees as long as the course(s) include significant attention to the subject matter as a cultural phenomenon.
