¹

Students must earn a C- or better in this course.

²

Readiness for MAT 120 is determined by the math placement test taken online after admission. Students may need to take developmental coursework prior to MAT 120. Students who complete MAT 120 and both a Computational Reasoning course and a Statistical Reasoning course in the Math and Computing Learning Domain take one less Learning Domain course. Students may not apply the course reduction to any Domain where only one course is required, and cannot be applied to the Scientific Inquiry Learning Domain.  The MAT 120 requirement may be waived by passing a dedicated proficiency exam or it may be fulfilled by credit for advanced math coursework earned  in-residence at DePaul (MAT 135, MAT 136, MAT 147, MAT 148, MAT 149, MAT 150, MAT 151, MAT 152 MAT 155, MAT 156, MAT 160, MAT 161, MAT 162 MAT 170, MAT 171, MAT 172, or equivalent) or earned externally either as transfer credit from another college/university or as test credit through AP, CLEP, IB, or International A and A/S Level exams. Calculus course(s) may be used to fulfill any of the three QR/MCD requirements.

³

A student majoring in American Studies (AMS) is required to complete the Capstone offered by the AMS Department. AMS 301 may be waived for Honors students who are producing an Honors capstone thesis project and double majors when AMS is a student's secondary major and the student completes a thesis project through a capstone in their primary major; in these cases AMS 301 must be replaced with a 300 level AMS course. Students seeking these exceptions must discuss with the AMS Program Director in advance.

Notes

A student majoring in American Studies (AMS) is required to complete the Capstone offered by the AMS Department. AMS 301 may be waived for Honors students who are producing an Honors capstone thesis project and double majors when AMS is a student's secondary major and the student completes a thesis project through a capstone in their primary major; in these cases AMS 301 must be replaced with a 300 level AMD course. Students seeking these exceptions must discuss with the AMS Program Director in advance.

Courses offered in the student's primary major cannot be taken to fulfill LSP Domain requirements. If students double major, LSP Domain courses or Honors courses may double count for both LSP and Honors credit, respectively, and the second major. Students who choose to take an experiential learning course offered by the major may count it either as a general elective or the Experiential Learning requirement.

In meeting learning domain requirements, no more than one course that is outside the student’s major and is cross-listed with a course within the student’s major, can be applied to count for LSP domain credit. This policy does not apply to those who are pursuing a double major (see above) or earning BFA or BM degrees.
