*G.E. Requirements: The Music History sequence will satisfy GE-A and one GE-B course. One GE course must be a GE Seminar (GESM) taken in your freshman year. The Global Perspectives requirement (GE-G and GE-H) can be satisfied through Core Literacy classes. Therefore, with correct planning, only 6 GE courses will be needed outside of your major requirements.
