Upper-Division Humanities Course Requirements
The courses chosen to fulfill the requirement for an upper-division humanities course outside the major must be chosen from the University-wide General Education course list and must meet the following criteria:
- For IAS majors, the course cannot be a course that is specifically listed under the Major Requirements section of the IAS degree sheet. Even if you have other options for completion of the major work and the course would be “extra” hours within the major, if the course is listed in the Major Requirements column, it cannot be used for the upper-division humanities outside of the major.* NOTE: IAS course lists that are available on the SIAS Advising page include many applicable major classes that are not officially listed on the degree sheet for our majors. If you choose a class for the humanities requirement from this list and it is not listed on the degree sheet, you are allowed to use the class to fulfill the upper-division humanities requirement outside of the major.
- For students completing dual degrees with one degree with SIAS and the other degree in another college, the upper-division humanities outside the major must be outside the major work, with no exceptions.
- The upper-division humanities outside the major courses may be applied to minor work.
