* The above schedules are samples. There are other ways of attaining the same objectives. For example, the English Language and Writing and Fundamentals of Speech requirements must be completed during the first year, but they may be taken either semester. It is recommended that courses meeting the Masterpieces of Literature, Health and Wellness, and Mathematics requirements be scheduled during the first or second year. The Liberal Arts Seminar is a required first semester course.
