Bachelor of Science Core Curriculum Requirements

Bachelor of Science Core Worksheet

A single course may not fulfill more than one core requirement, except for Diversity
in the US and Global Citizenship courses, which may do "Double Duty" by satisfying
another core, major or minor requirement.
3 hrs Foundations of Discourse
All students must complete ENGL1900: Advanced Strategies of Rhetoric and Research or
ENGL1940: Advanced Writing. Students needing prerequisite work in writing skills, as determined by
entering test scores, will be required to take ENGL1500: Process of Composition, and perhaps
ENGL0900: Introduction to Writing. ENGL1500 serves as elective credit, but ENGL0900 does not
count toward graduation.
Non-native speakers of English may substitute ESL1500: The Process of Composition for Foreign
Students for ENGL1500, and ESL1900: Advanced Strategies of Rhetoric and Research for Foreign
Students for ENGL1900.
3 hrs Foreign Language
Proficiency through second course level (2010 or 1020): CHIN, GK, LATN, FREN, GR, ITAL, RUSS,
SPAN. The foreign language requirement may also be satisfied by a minimum of one semester's
study in a foreign country at a College/University where a language other than English is employed
in courses taken. (SLU Language Lab placement tests do not satisfy the foreign language
requirement.)
4-7 hrs Mathematics
4-7 hours through Calculus I (MATH 1510) or higher level.
6 hrs Theology
Two course sequence: THEO1000: Theological Foundations and a 2000-level course.
3 hrs Literature
All students must complete a 3-hr course chosen from one of the following:

any 3000- or 4000-level English literature course (EXCEPT ENGL3850-3870,

Writing and Rhetoric; ENGL4000-4040, Upper Level Writing & Rhetoric; and ENGL41004120,
Language Studies);

an upper division (3000- or 4000-level) foreign literature course taught in the original
language;

an upper division (3000- or 4000-level) Greek or Latin literature course with readings in the
original language;

ASTD 3020 - American Mosaic: Literature and Diversity.

ASTD 3030 - History and Fiction

ITAL 3540 - Mafia and Antimafia in Italian Culture: Perceptions, Representations,

Experiences

ITAL 3650 - All Things Trans

International students may satisfy this requirement by either taking a course in the English
department,
or an upper division foreign language literature course.
6 hrs Philosophy
Two course sequence including PHIL 2050: Ethics. Students may take PHIL 1050 or an upper
division
philosophy as their second course.
8 hrs Sciences
8 hours in a single science: BIOL, CHEM, EAS, or PHYS, outside the department offering the B.S.
degree.
6 hrs World History
All students must complete two courses: HIST1110: Origins of the Modern World to 1500 , and
HIST1120:
Origins of the Modern World 1500 to the Present.
6 hrs Social Science
All students must complete six hours of course work in the Social Sciences. This requirement can be
fulfilled
by two three-hour courses in the Social Sciences from: AAM 2500, ASTD 3200, Communication
(CMM1000, 2000, 2400, 2800, CMM2300 only), Communication Sciences and Disorders
(CSDI1000,
3000 only), Criminology and Criminal Justice, Economics, Education (EDF4240, EDI4620,
EDSP4310 only),
Political Science, Psychology, Public Policy Studies (except for field service), Social Work
(SWRK1000, 2100,
3100, 3200 only), or Sociology and Anthropology. SOC 2210, 2600, 3630, and 3620 cannot satisfy
both a
social science and a natural science requirement of the core curriculum.

Courses that meet both requirements of the Core Curriculum and a department's or program's
requirement
for the major or minor may be regarded as fulfilling both requirements simultaneously, provided
departmental and program policies are preserved. Communication majors may count one
communication
course in the Social Science core toward their social science requirement. Neither cross-listed
courses, nor
courses meeting both a Core Curriculum and a department's or program's requirement for the major
or minor
are counted twice for degree credit.
3 hrs Fine Arts
Students must satisfy this requirement through taking one or more of
the following courses (for a total of 3 hours). Exception: A student may
not take Class Piano or Class Voice for core credit concurrently with
applied (private) lessons on that instrument. A student may, however,
receive core credit for a combination of class and private lessons on
a single instrument if the instruction occurs during different semesters.
All courses are 3 credit hours except where noted.
