  4. Six or more credits must be selected from one department, with at least one course having a Timetable course level designation of I, D, or A.
  5. At least six credits of the liberal studies courses must have a Timetable L&S breadth designation of H, L, or Z. (Effective Fall, 1996 for entering freshmen.)
  6. Other: Foreign language courses are considered to have a breadth designation of H. Retro credits, which are credits awarded by foreign language departments for successful completion of a higher level course, do not count toward the total credits (16 cr) and do not count as part of the minimum six credits of H, L, or Z. Retro credits may be used to satisfy the depth requirement (#6-I,D, or A level) if the credits were given an intermediate or higher level designation. Foreign language credits taken to make up a high school deficiency for campus entrance may not be used.
