Creative Studies
students work closely with their advisors to establish which courses
they will complete for their majors. When necessary, CCS students may
take basic or introductory courses in the College of Letters and Science
to prepare for advanced work.
In addition to completing a major
with the guidance of an advisor, each student must fulfill the College
of Creative Studies general education requirements. These are designed
to accommodate individual interests while still ensuring that each
student acquires a broad education. Each student is required to complete:
- two courses in fields related to the student’s major, as determined
in consultation with a CCS advisor;
- eight courses broadly distributed
in fields unrelated to the student’s major, as determined in
consultation with the advisor. These may be selected from courses
offered by the College of Creative Studies, the College of Letters and
Science, and the College of Engineering.
One of these courses must fulfill the Ethnicity Requirement: a course that concentrates on the intellectual, social and cultural experience, and history of HISTORICALLY oppressed and excluded racial minorities in the United States. This course may be selected from a list of courses that fulfill the Ethnicity Requirement offered through the College of Letters and Science.
Students in the college work closely with their advisors, reviewing their planned courses of study each quarter. Contingent upon completion of all requirements, the advisor recommends the student for graduation.
