Major Field The amount of work for a typical major field approximates 50 quarter hours and must include the requirements of the department Comprehensive majors are typically from 70 to 90 hours. Specific requirements are listed at the beginning ofdepartment course offerings. No courses in which "D" grades are received may be counted as meeting the requirements of the major field. Departments may suggest that an alter– nate course be taken rather than repeating the course. In order to graduate, a student must satisfy the requirements for at least one major field of study. With proper scheduling, he or she may concur– rently complete the requirements for more than one major. Majors involv– ing fewer than sixty quarter hours of course work lend themselves to this approach. Major Fields of Study The College offers forty-three major fields of study. Some of the majors represent combinations of two or more areas of study. These are denoted with an asterisk (*). Course requirements for each of the majors are outlined in the respective departmental sections of the catalog.

Electives The provision of elective choice is based upon the premise that the student should have an opportunity to either further strengthen his major field or minor field or further broaden his background by selecting courses in areas of inadequacy or interest. Elective choice also provides the student with some flexibility should he or she decide to change major fields.
