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)
