COURSE CURRICULUM

To earn this degree, students are required to complete a total of 120 credit hours as part of the curriculum set by the School of Arts and Sciences. These credits include a combination of core courses, major-specific requirements, and often general education classes designed to provide a well-rounded academic foundation. The 120 credit-hour structure ensures that students gain sufficient knowledge, skills, and academic experience necessary for graduation. However, it is important to note that some programs have additional requirements beyond the standard credit total. Majors such as Biology (BIOL), Biochemistry (BIOCHEM), Chemistry (CHEM), and Psychology, both Bachelor of Science (PSY-BS) and Bachelor of Arts (PSY-BA), may require students to complete extra credit hours due to the depth and rigor of coursework in these fields. These additional credits often include advanced laboratory work, research components, or specialized courses that enhance subject expertise and practical skills. As a result, students enrolled in these programs may need to take a slightly heavier course load or extend their academic planning to meet all graduation requirements successfully.
