Upper Level Perspectives Courses 300 - 400
*One course required in any perspective category outside of the major. Students should not enroll in courses numbered above their class rank without permission of the department offering the course.
 
NOTE: A course approved as a Liberal Studies Perspectives course may be used to meet a major requirement. However, when a Perspectives course meets a student's major requirement, the credit hours for that course will not be counted toward the total of 18 hours of Liberal Studies Perspectives required of every student, although the Perspective category requirement met by the course will be satisfied. In this situation, the student will take an additional elective Liberal Studies course in any Perspectives category outside of the major. The credit hours for this Liberal Studies elective course will count toward the 18 hours of Liberal Studies Perspectives. Credit hours will not count for both Liberal Studies Perspectives and for the major simultaneously.
