Other Information
Courses for the certificate and/or its pre/co-requisites that are cross-listed in the catalog or schedule of courses under another course subject code may be taken under that other subject code and still count for these requirements.
With the approval of the chair/director, courses that applied to the certificate in previous years but have since been deactivated may be applied to this year’s certificate requirements if they are reactivated.
For a Bachelor of Arts degree, no more than 45 credits in courses with the same departmental subject code may be used toward completion of the 120 credits required for graduation. For a Bachelor of Science degree in the College of Arts and Sciences, the maximum is 50 credits.
