Some of these courses can fulfill the University Curriculum requirements.
- 3
Students who do not directly place into MA 141 should take MA 140.
All majors are encouraged to work closely with their academic adviser to plan their progress through the major.
Modern Language Requirement
All CAS students (both bachelor of science and bachelor of arts) must complete one modern language through the 102 level. Modern language courses may also count toward the UC Personal Inquiry II requirement. Students who have taken a language in high school should take the modern language placement test for that language. Students with placement scores at the 201 level or higher have demonstrated language competency and thus have passed out of the language requirement.
