| 2 | Visit this website for a list of courses that fulfill the BA Quantitative Reasoning requirement. |
| 3 | The South Slavic Studies emphasis requires 5 course (15 hours) of electives. For a list of approved electives visit the degree requirements tab. |
| 4 | Typically Goal 6 is fulfilled with a major course. If a major course is not approved for Goal 6, plan to take a course outside of the major. A free elective may need to be used to fulfill pre-requisites. |
Please note:
All students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are required to completed 120 total hours of which 45 hours must be at the Jr/Sr (300+) level.
The same course cannot be used to fulfill more than one KU Core Goal. However, overlap of a KU Core course with a major or degree-specific requirement is allowed. Overlapping is recommended to allow more opportunities to explore other majors and/or minors.
