Regardless of the major you choose, all L&S students must complete different sets of requirements as part of the 120 credits it takes to earn a degree. Requirements differ between the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Arts degrees. There are requirements for the major, 51ÁÔÆæ general education requirements (often referred to as GER), and College of Letters & Science breadth requirements. Some classes can count in more than one category – another reason why consulting with your advisor is valuable since they can help you identify these double-counting classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students follow the requirements in place for the term they were admitted to 51ÁÔÆæ. Students may appeal to their Letters & Science advisor to revert back to a prior requirement term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking with your advisor is the best way to understand your requirements. Contact your advisor to discuss your circumstances or contact\u00a0let-sci@uwm.edu<\/a>\u00a0if you do not have an assigned advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
