Concentration Requirements
- 6 credits of CH 4995 or BL 4840 and 3 credits of CH or BL 3000–4000 course(s).
Co-Curricular Activities
- 3 units of co-curricular activities are required (PE courses are taught in 0.5 unit classes. Thus, 6 of these are needed for 3 units).
- It is highly recommended that students take at least one PE class during each semester of their first year, if possible.
