Degree Requirements

Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science

The bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree is granted upon successful completion of the following requirements:

  • At least 120 semester hours of creditable college work;
  • A final grade point average of at least 2.000;
  • Completion of the College Core requirements;
  • Completion of one major; and
  • Completion of a minimum of 102 credit hours of course work within the College of Arts and Science, or a minimum of 90 credit hours for those students with a second major outside the College of Arts and Science.

Students also need to complete additional requirements as specified by the respective academic programs.

Degree Audit

Students can check their academic record and progress through the degree audit tool in YES. The degree audit system compares the student’s undergraduate academic record with a combination of “plans.” These “plans” encompass the requirements for the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree, majors, minors, and curriculum requirements (AXLE for students entering before Fall 2025, College Core for students entering Fall 2025 and later).

The degree audit system is available in YES to all currently enrolled undergraduate College of Arts and Science students.

The degree audit system is offered as an aid to the advising and course selection process, and is not an official transcript or an official certification of the completion of graduation requirements. Every effort has been made to ensure that the program is accurate and up-to-date. Students should discuss any questions or potential inaccuracies with their adviser.
