Specifying Core Curriculum Courses:

Also, if you are specifying which Core curriculum courses should be taken in your program of study, please list them below and give a compelling reason for your specificity.

(Note: If your accrediting agency mandates a specific course, please attach the appropriate documentation. If you have a significant curricular reason for specifying a particular course, please explain it. For example, if Social Work majors should take Gov 201 instead of being allowed to choose from the Core Social Sciences Electives in Group II because Social Work majors will be working with government agencies and therefore will need to know the processes of government, then please give this reason.)
