Baccalaureate Writing Requirement

Students who have chosen the Paper Science major will satisfy the Baccalaureate Writing Requirement by successfully completing PAPR 4850 Research Design.

Requirements

Candidates for the Bachelor of Science must satisfy the following requirements in addition to University requirements stated elsewhere in this bulletin:

1. All students must complete a sequence of two courses (minimum of six credit hours) in the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and/or behavioral sciences. The sequence must begin with a course at the 1000-2000 level and conclude with a course at the 3000-4000 level. Both courses must have the same course prefix, must provide depth, and must not be a selection of unrelated introductory courses. The sequence may be selected from General Education Areas I, II, III, IV and/or V as part of the University General Education requirements. If the University General Education requirements have been otherwise satisfied, the sequence may be from any of the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and/or behavioral sciences.
2. Students must earn a “C” or better grade in all departmental-prefixed courses. The requirement of departmental-prefixed prerequisite will not be fulfilled with a grade less than “C.” Requests for exceptions to this policy must follow the departmental appeal policy (available in the department office).
3. No more than two grades of “D” or “DC” may be presented for graduation.
4. All departmental-prefixed courses submitted for graduation must be passed with a grade of “C” or better. No exceptions or exemptions will be permitted.
5. At least two of the General Education courses must be at the 3000-4000 level.
6. Students must complete the following program of 136 semester credit hours. The schedule below is an example of one leading to graduation in eight semesters, beginning in fall. However, depending on the individual’s curricular and scheduling needs, the program can take more than eight semesters.
