Total Minimum Credits = 120.

¹MATH.1020 is optional but strongly recommended. If this course is completed, then total free electives are reduced by one credit.

²All Kennedy College of Sciences (KCS) majors in BS programs must complete a minimum of 60 credits of KCS coursework. These can be required or elective courses for majors in KCS departments or KCS courses specifically designated as appropriate for science majors. Courses with titles indicating they are for non-science majors or explicitly designated for non-science majors in the course description cannot be used toward this 60-credit requirement.

³Math BS majors, when completing their Core Breadth of Knowledge (BOK) requirement for the Sciences with Lab Perspective (SCL), must select courses from the departments of Biology; Chemistry; Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EEAS); or Physics. Courses with descriptions indicating they are for non-science majors or explicitly designated for non-science majors in the course description cannot be used toward the 60 credits of Kennedy College of Science (KCS) coursework requirement.

⁴The Arts and Humanities (AH) and Social Sciences (SS) perspectives are subsets of the Breadth of Knowledge (BOK) requirements in the Core Curriculum. No more than two BOK courses can be taken with the same four-letter prefix.

The Core Curriculum also includes seven Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs). The Diversity and Cultural Awareness (DCA) ELO and the Social Responsibility and Ethics (SRE) ELO are satisfied outside the major requirements. See the DCA course listing and the SRE course listing for a full list of classes that fulfill these requirements. The Class Search tool can be used to identify AH and SS courses that simultaneously satisfy the DCA or SRE requirement.

The Core Curriculum courses may be taken in any sequence. Refer to the Core Curriculum policy for further details. You should meet with your college-based professional advisor and/or faculty advisor to determine how best to satisfy the Core Curriculum requirements.
