Specified required courses within Liberal Studies may have grade minimums (e.g. C- or better). Please consult your advisor or your college and major requirements.​​

Students with a primary major in Mathematics and Computer Science (joint degree) are required to complete one of the following Capstone courses: CSC 394, GPH 395, or MAT 398. Students double majoring or pursuing dual degrees with the primary major or primary degree in Mathematics and Computer Science (joint degree) are also required to complete one of these courses. Mathematics and Computer Science (joint degree) students in the University Honors Program shall take the University Honors Capstone. They are not expected to take both the Honors Capstone and the primary major or primary degree Capstone.​

Courses offered in the student's primary major cannot be taken to fulfill LSP Domain requirements. If students double major, LSP Domain courses may double count for both LSP credit and the second major. Students who choose to take an experiential learning course offered by the major may count it either as a general elective or the Experiential Learning requirement.

In meeting learning domain requirements, no more than one course that is outside the student’s major and is cross-listed with a course within the student’s major, can be applied to count for LSP domain credit. This policy does not apply to those who are pursuing a double major or earning BFA or BM degrees.
