*General Education courses can be done in any order with the exception of INTD 101, CRWT and MATH. Those three general education courses will need to be done first. First Year Seminar is taken in the first semester. Failure to complete CRWT and MATH will result in a hold when the student hits 64 credits. The following general education courses can be done in any order. For more info on these courses, please visit the General Education program requirements website in the College Catalog:
Social Science Inquiry (+W)
Scientific Reasoning
Historical Perspectives (+W)
Studies in the Arts and Humanities (+W)
Global Awareness (+W)
Distribution Category (Outside of TAS)
Distribution Category
+W: Students transferring in with 48 or more credits are waived from these general education requirements.
*Three additional credits are required in the 3rd year because graduate courses are only 3 credits, instead of the usual 4 credits for undergraduate courses. Thus, a student must take an additional 3 credits to meet the 128-credit undergraduate graduation requirement.
Total Graduate Credits Required: 30 credits**
GPA Required for MSAM: 3.0
**The 9 credits of graduate coursework taken in the fourth-year will double count towards both the undergraduate degree requirement of 128 credits as well as the required 30 graduate credits.
