Notes:

  • One distribution requirement may also count towards a major requirement when applicable
  • Mathematics and Culminating Experience Courses may also count towards a major when applicable
  • No course may count for more than one Spartan Studies requirement
  • Core Social Science and Humanities courses may not count toward any major or minor
  • While credit hours are noted for each course in Spartan Studies, for transfer purposes, approved courses will meet the corresponding requirement
  • A minimum of 40 credits of courses that meet Spartan Studies requirements is required - deficits due to transfer credits in specific categories can be made up with additional courses that meet any program requirements, i.e., an additional course that meets distribution requirements
  • Students who are readmitted to the University after one year but have not previously completed the BAC/HON/UTAMPA 101/102 sequence, will be required to complete UTAMPA 103 during the first semester they return to UT.
