"P" indicates prerequisite.
*Math 2623 requires placement level 3. Math 1549 and 1571 will also satisfy math requirement.
** Note: Students who take 4-hour courses may be able to reduce electives by one course.

Important Notes:
  • Placement exams in English and Math required before registration of classes. (Foreign Language is optional)
  • English 1550 and 1551 must be completed by 62 semester hours.
  • Courses in the major cannot satisfy GER domains.
  • At least two departments must be used to satisfy each GER domain. AL+SI+NS must equal a minimum of eight classes; hence the pattern may be 2-3-3, 3-2-3, 3-3-2. Domains may be taken in any order.
  • Foreign language 1550 required for BSAS if student does not have two years of the same high school language.
  • All non-science majors must take A&S 2600 unless they fulfill the laboratory requirement through substitute courses.
  • Intensive courses required: 2 writing “W”; 2 critical thinking “T”; 1 oral intensive “O”.
  • Classes taken or repeated out of sequence will not be counted toward graduation. Check prerequisites!
  • The residency rule states that the last 30 SH must be completed at YSU, including the last 16 SH in the major and the last 21 SH in upper division.
  • Request for senior evaluation form must be filed by 85 SH.
