Liberal Arts and Science (LAS), level, and breadth designations help L&S undergraduate students find courses to meet their graduation requirements. This document explains these requirements and the process by which L&S and non-L&S departments can add, change, or remove LAS, level or breadth designations.

L&S requirements met by these designations
Level requirements: L&S students are required to complete at least 60 credits in Intermediate or Advanced level work, to encourage depth of learning as well as “breadth” of learning across disciplines in their liberal arts degree. Courses are designated with an “E” (Elementary), “I” (Intermediate), and “A” (Advanced) to identify courses meet this requirement. Courses with L&S level must also have the "L&S Credit" designation.
