whatever happened to interdisciplinarity

Hi —

I’ve read somewhere (can’t find the page again to clarify this) that you cannot take more than 15 credits with the same 3 letter designator. ENG, HPS, SOC, etc. What happens if you do? Does your 16th credit not count toward your program requirements, or does the extra course not count toward your GPA?

Thanks

———————————————

This is a little bit of a fishy issue. My registrar says that you CAN actually take the 16th credit, and it will not be counted as Extra Credit – so it will still count towards your GPA. What it will not count toward is the? 20-credit requirement that you need to fulfill to graduate. What this means is that, should you elect to take a 16th credit in, say, Sociology, you would need to have at least 21 credits when you graduate; you’d need to take 5 credits from departments other than Sociology to fulfill the 20-credit requirement.

Hope this helps.
