1 Note that some colleges, schools, programs, or majors may require accelerated Computer Proficiency certification.

2 Students must take at least 3 hours of Humanities, 3 hours of Social Sciences, and 4 hours of Science. Students must also take 9 more hours in two or three of these academic areas. If a student elects to take more than 9 hours in a given area (for example, within the Humanities), they must cover at least two different disciplinary prefixes within that area.

3 Correspondence work in Foreign Language is not accepted as credit for Belmont students. Also, students who have had three years or more of a Foreign Language in high school may be ready to begin language study at Belmont with the 2000-level courses. Incoming students with previous language study are encouraged to consult instructors in each language to determine specific placement.

4 Exceptions: As specified in the individual course descriptions, courses that will not fulfil the Humanities requirements in General Education are ENG 1000, 1010, 1100, 2100, 3010; ENL 1990, 2000, 3440, 4900; ENW 2000, 3050, 3960, 3970; PHI 1990, 2250, 2990, 3150, 3160, 3220, 3330, 3990, 4050, 4100, 4200, 4250, 4400, 4900, 4990.

5 Students must take one 4-hour, lab-based Science course. Note that many of the 3-hour Science courses in this list will be converted to 4-hour, lab-based courses by fall 2005.

6 Bio 1010 is intended for most non-science majors. BIO 1110 is an introductory course for BIO majors, BIO minors, and pre-health students. CEM 1010 and PHY 1010 are intended for most non-science majors. CEM 1610 is the introductory course for chemistry majors, minors and pre-health sciences. PHY 1100 is intended for those with interests in sound. PHY 1110 (trigonometry-based) and PHY 2110 (calculus-based) are introductory courses for science majors and pre-health students. CEM 1610, PHY 1110, & PHY 1120 have mathematics prerequisites.

7 Military Science and/or Marching Band do not substitute.
