Degree Program

A degree program consists of a major, a minor (required for non-comprehensive majors under the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees), and the applicable requirements associated with the degree (see the “General Baccalaureate Degree Requirements” section of this catalog). Students completing multiple majors in the same degree are considered to have only one degree. 

Fall 2009: Students must be admitted to a degree program before completing 60 credit hours or a hold will be placed on their record and they will not be allowed to register. Students are required to complete GEP 101 in their first semester. Students are strongly encouraged to complete: GEP 101/UHC 110, CIS/CSC 101 or CSC 111, COM 115, ENG 110, MTH 130 or higher, and KIN 100 within their first 30 hours, and are required to do so prior to earning 60 hours.
