Introductory Course Placement for Undergraduate Students

Students may demonstrate they have met introductory-level course requirements and have a "sufficient base of knowledge" in Humanities, Math, Science, and Social Sciences through such vehicles as AP credit, previous college courses, or prior learning assessment. Students are also eligible to place out of Writing as Thinking and Process (CWRIT 1101) with an AP score of 4 or higher. All students are required to complete Word and Image (CLITR 1100). Students with a mathematics SAT score below 510 must satisfy the quantitative reasoning requirement prior to their math requirement. Students with AP credits for studio art or pre-college art classes may qualify for studio elective credit.

All other students will be advised into the appropriate introductory-level courses to prepare them for advanced breadth and depth of study in the liberal arts and business disciplines. Visual art students will be enrolled in mandatory foundation courses in their first year of study.
