- For each course that satisfies either a NCC GEN ED HUM or SBS attribute, the number of unique attribute types that those courses collectively satisfy from the list below will correspond to the number of Liberal Arts Electives that count as a General Elective. Attribute list: Fine and Performing Arts (FAPA), Literature (LIT), Communication Arts (COM), Western Heritage (WESH), Global Awareness and Non-Western Cultures (GLNW), or Pluralism and Diversity (PLDI).
- Students must select a course from one of the following disciplines: Africana Studies, Economics/Finance, History/Political Science/Geography, Interdisciplinary Global Studies, Education/Psychology, or Sociology/Anthropology.
