Please note the following:
- Technology Proficiency: All students must demonstrate baseline technological proficiency by the end of the sophomore year. The requirement may be met by scoring 70% or higher on the ASC Technology Proficiency examination or by passing an approved course with a grade of C or better. Courses meeting this proficiency are BUS 120 (Business Computer Applications) and CSci 100 (Essentials of Info.).
- Writing Assessment: All students pursuing bachelors degrees are required to undergo an assessment of their writing during the semester in which they will have completed 60 hours of credit. Students are strongly advised to confer with the head of their department or program about the unit’s writing assessment policy as soon as they have chosen a major.
