A "double-dip" course may serve as both as a Humanities & Fine Arts and as a multicultural course [e.g., HIST 1080], or as both as a Social Science and as a multicultural course [e.g., SOC 2640]. The "pink sheet" linked below includes at least twenty-five (25) courses that qualify as double-dip courses. Students may use the double-dip option only once.
The Natural Science electives are selected from the list of departments below and must include one laboratory course. The two Natural Science courses chosen cannot be from the same discipline.
- Anatomy/Physiology (KINE)
- Astronomy (ASTR)
- Biology (BIOL)
- Chemistry (CHEM)
- Earth, Ecology and Environmental Science (EEES)
