* Nonprofessional electives are to be taken as follows: 6 hours social
or behavioral sciences (psychology, sociology, political science, economics,
journalism, and social work), 9 hours of humanities (classics, African
American studies, gender studies, Southern studies, English, history,
modern languages, religion, and philosophy) and fine arts (art, music,
and theater arts) with a minimum of 3 hours in each of these two general
areas. Performance courses are acceptable for satisfying the fine arts
requirement. For students enrolled in the Honors College, credit obtained
in Honors 101-102 will count toward fulfillment of the elective requirement
in humanities and in the early-entry GPA. Although quality grades for
elective courses are recorded, they are not included in the computation
of the grade-point average (GPA) utilized in admissions, progression,
or school scholarship decisions. In all cases, only the grades on "required"
courses are used. Elective courses should be chosen on the basis of
(1) student's likes and interests, and (2) potential contribution to
professional success, rather than a lack of academic rigor. |
