UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES AND MAJORS
MAJOR
The typical liberal arts major at Francis Marion University consists
of a minimum of 30 semester hours. Students must satisfy all requirements
as listed for each major. The list of requirements for each major
precedes the list of courses offered in that subject in this catalog.
A minimum of three courses above 299 in the student's major must
be earned in residence (see general Residence Requirements earlier
in this catalog and specific requirements for School of Business
students in the Business section of the catalog.) Correspondence
credit does not count as residential credit.
Students should declare a major no later than the second semester
of their sophomore year, and it is desirable that certain course
selections be made in the freshman year for students planning
to major in one of the business programs, education, mathematics,
engineering technology, or one of the sciences.
All major programs require students to complete either a minor
of 18 semester hours or two collaterals of 12 semester hours each
as part of a degree program at Francis Marion University. The
only exceptions are programs leading to the Bachelor of Business
Administration degree; majors in Art Education, Early Childhood
Education, Elementary Education (although no minor is required
for the Elementary Education major, one collateral is required)
and Physics; and double majors (unless a specific minor or collateral
is required for one of those majors). A major in the Bachelor
of General Studies program does not require a minor or collaterals.
