Course & Program-Specific Information

Program-Designated Liberal Arts Courses and Breadth Electives

• A program-designated Liberal Arts course is a particular Liberal Arts course that a student must take as a requirement of the program. For example, in the Creative Advertising program, PSYC 200 Introduction to Psychology is a program-designated Liberal Arts course that all students in the Creative Advertising program must take as a requirement of the program.
• Students will normally receive transfer credit for program-designated Liberal Arts courses, if and only if, the course the student’s application is based on meets ALL of the specific learning outcomes as stated in the program-designated course outline.
• If credit is granted for a program-designated Liberal Arts course, the course used as the basis for granting credit cannot be used for additional credit toward a Liberal Arts breadth elective. For example, if credit is granted for PSYC 200, the course used in applying for the credit cannot be used for any additional credit within in the same program.
• Students who take program-designated Liberal Arts courses cannot use the same course as a Liberal Arts breadth elective. For example, students in Creative Advertising are restricted from taking PSYC 200 as a Liberal Arts and Sciences elective.

Using Degree-level Courses for Transfer Credit

• Students may use the same degree-level course for transfer credit at both diploma and degree level study.
