Check the requirements for your degree in the 2012-2013 catalog. Students wishing to take advantage of the reduced credit hours will need to move forward to the 2012-2013 catalog and meet all requirements for general education, major and minor from that catalog year. All program requirements must be met from the same catalog year.

For programs that do not require unspecified electives, a reduction in the courses for the major will be necessary unless the major falls into one of the exemption categories for licensure and certification. NOTE: We anticipate that the general education requirements will not be changed to meet the new requirements.

In these instances, programs may require more than 120/60 credit hours.
