Autumn Semester 2025 The College of Arts and Sciences The following degree requirements are effective autumn semester 2025 and apply to you if you began your career as a regularly enrolled college student at Ohio State autumn semester 2022 or later. Check the web site https://go.osu.edu/ascadvising for updated information. Consult your advisor before making enrollment decisions. The College of Arts and Sciences consists of 38 departments and schools offering majors in the arts and humanities, natural and mathematical sciences, and social and behavioral sciences. Prerequisites Your Responsibility as a Student You are responsible for fulfilling all prerequisites to courses in which you enroll. Failure to satisfactorily complete prerequisites may delay graduation. You are responsible for knowing the published policies governing the curriculum you are pursuing, as well as the regulations and procedures of the college and the university. The Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Sciences, and Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Science curriculum sheet should be used in conjunction with the degree planning information and college policies, published online, at https://go.osu.edu/ascadvising and in consultation with your academic advisor. General College Requirements ◼︎ You must earn a minimum of 121 semester credit hours to earn an Arts and Sciences degree. You will complete general college and major requirements, General Education (GE) requirements, and elective course work to reach a minimum of 121 credit hours. Bachelor of Science (BS), Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Sciences (BSATMSSC), and Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Science (BSGEINSC) Majors oRemedial courses (courses at the 10XX-level or below, and English 1109) and credit hours earned in repeated course work do not count toward the 121 hour minimum requirement for the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. Note that you can take both "versions" of cross-listed courses (e.g., Comparative Studies 2264/English 2264); however, since the two versions are in fact the same course, only one may count toward your minimum degree hours. The information contained in this curriculum sheet pertains to students following one of the majors listed below. In addition, each Arts and Sciences division offers the personalized study program. Arts and Humanities BS Major oThe number of hours required to complete the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Sciences, and Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Science degree with a given major will depend on your program and goals. Music2 (admission is selective)1 oYou may need to plan a program of more than 121 credit hours if you wish to complete specific professional or studio training, are preparing for graduate study in certain disciplines, or have multidisciplinary goals. 1 See the Professional Programs in the Arts curriculum sheet for the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Bachelor of Music (BM), and Bachelor of Music Education (BME) degree requirements. Geographic Information Science oIf the combination of course work for the GE, prerequisites, and your major program totals fewer than 121 hours, you have many options for the remaining hours, called electives. With your elective hours, you could pursue a second major, a minor, or a combination degree program; select a set of courses on a specific topic; engage in an undergraduate research experience; do internships; and/or study abroad. You are urged to meet with your academic advisor to work out a plan that best fits your needs and interests. In no case shall the number of hours required for graduation be fewer than 121. Natural and Mathematical Sciences BS Majors Within the minimum 121 credit hours, you must have: Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Sciences (BSATMSSC) Major Atmospheric Sciences Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Science (BSGEINSC) Major ◼︎ A minimum of 111 hours of Arts and Sciences or Arts and Sciences-approved courses.

Of the 10 hours, no more than 4 may be from physical activities courses taught in Kinesiology: Sport, Fitness, and Health Program (KNSFHP); physical activities courses include all 1100-level KNSFHP courses except for 1102, 1103, 1122, and 1137. A maximum of 8 hours of technical credit may be counted toward the 10 hours of non-Arts and Sciences and non-Arts and Sciences-approved course work; however, the combination of KNSFHP, technical, and other non-Arts and Sciences credit hours may not exceed 10. ◼︎ A minimum of 39 hours of Arts and Sciences or Arts and Sciences-approved upper-division course work. oUpper-division courses are defined as all Arts and Sciences courses at the 3000-level or above, Philosophy 2500, all courses taught by departments in mathematical and physical sciences (Astronomy, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science and Engineering, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics) at the 2000-level and above (except for Earth Sciences 2911 and any courses numbered 2194), and world language courses taught in the language at the 2000-level. Note that Gen Ed 4001, the reflection seminar, does not count as an Upper-division course. Your 39 upper-division hours may come from hours earned for the GE, the major, the minor (if applicable), and electives. ◼︎ A minimum of ◼︎ Regular term. 1 30 credit hours earned through regular course enrollment at Ohio State. course enrollment at Ohio State and in the College of Arts and Sciences in your final In addition, you must have: ◼︎ A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 for all work attempted at Ohio State. ◼︎ A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in your major. file the minor program form as early as possible; declaration of the minor and filing of the minor program form must occur at least one term prior to the graduation term. Exclusivity of GE, Major, and Minor Courses With the exceptions noted below, courses may not be counted on both the GE and the major. A maximum of 6 semester hours on the minor may also count on the GE. If the minor consists of more than 12 semester hours, some overlap with the major may be permitted. Consult your advisor. ◼︎ An application for the degree on file in the Arts and Sciences Graduation Services office, which must be submitted prior to the published deadline for your intended graduation term. General Education (GE) Requirements Some GE courses are listed in more than one category; with the exceptions noted below, however, GE courses may not be used to fulfill more than one GE requirement. Ohio State’s General Education (GE) is designed to develop and refine qualities, abilities and characteristics that prepare its students to be engaged, resilient and adaptable citizens and leaders for life. It aims to develop in students an engagement with and an ability to apply a range of important modes of thought and inquiry. Through it, students will examine significant aspects of the human condition in local, state, national and global settings today and in the foreseeable future. Courses Used to Fulfill More than One Requirement Students can apply up to two Theme courses to their major. The courses must be in different Themes (one in Citizenship and one in the “choice” Theme). Foundation courses cannot apply to the major directly but may be counted as prerequisite or major-foundational courses. No overlap is allowed between the Foundations and major coursework. The curricular requirements are organized into eleven categories under three headings: Bookends, Foundations, and Thematic Pathways (Themes). Details regarding completion of these requirements, including lists of approved courses, are found on pages 3 – 8. Group Studies and Individual Studies If you have transferred to Ohio State from another institution, you can often fulfill part of the GE with approximately equivalent courses already taken. Your transfer course work will be reviewed in Arts and Sciences Advising, and courses that meet the spirit of the GE will be applied to the GE. In some cases, you may need to submit a petition via your advisor. Group studies (XX94) courses and individual studies (XX93) courses are not acceptable for fulfilling GE requirements except when a specific experimental course has been approved by the Arts and Sciences Curriculum Committee. If a course has been approved, it will be listed on this curriculum sheet. You must earn at least a D in a course for it to fulfill a GE requirement. Courses taken on a pass/non-pass or satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis cannot be used to fulfill GE requirements. (A note regarding transfer credit: a grade of D or D+ will not transfer to Ohio State unless it was earned at another public college or university in the state of Ohio.) Honors Courses In order to enroll in an honors course, you must be an honors student or have instructor permission. Check the course catalogue (course bulletin) at buckeyelink.osu.edu for a full listing of honors courses. Honors courses are marked with an H after the course number. Requirements for the Major Honors Embedded Courses Your major program must consist of at least 30 semester hours of credit in courses numbered 2000 or above as prescribed by your advisor. Please note that many major programs require considerably more than 30 hours of credit. In order to enroll in an honors embedded course, you must be an honors student or have instructor permission. Check the course catalogue (course bulletin) at buckeyelink.osu.edu for a full listing of honors embedded courses. Honors embedded courses are marked with an E after the course number. You must earn at least a C- in a course in order for it to be listed on your major. In addition, you must receive a 2.0 cumulative GPA for all major course work. If you earn a D+, D, or an E in a course that is required for your major, the course cannot be counted toward the major. Your advisor will decide if the course should be repeated or if another course should be substituted. Courses taken on a pass/non-pass basis cannot be used on the major. Service Learning Courses Service learning courses are designed to enrich students’ understanding of course content, broaden their appreciation of the discipline, and enhance development of civic responsibility. A service-learning course uses experiential strategies characterized by student participation in an organized service activity, is connected to specific learning outcomes, meets identified community needs, and provides structured time for students to analyze and connect the service experience to learning. Check the course catalogue (course bulletin) at buckeyelink.osu.edu for a full listing of service learning courses. Service learning courses are marked with an S after the course number. Please note that all service learning courses are listed as individual courses in the catalogue, but on this curriculum sheet, a service learning course is listed individually only if there is no equivalent, non-service learning course available. You must complete major coursework designated to fulfill embedded literacy requirements in advanced writing, data analysis, and technology. Consult your academic advisor for information about fulfilling embedded literacies. Your advisor must approve all courses comprising your major. If you change from one major or curriculum to another, consult your advisor. Such changes may result in modifying requirements to such an extent that your date of graduation might be delayed. At least one-half of the credit hours in the major must be credit from completed Ohio State course work. Note: AP/IB/EM credit and transfer credit from other institutions are not considered to be “Ohio State course work.” Requirements for Additional Baccalaureate Degrees If you are pursuing multiple majors, course work may overlap between the majors, provided that each major department allows such overlap and that each major has at least 18 unique (non-overlapping) semester hours. If you are pursuing multiple baccalaureate degrees, you must earn at least 30 additional semester hours for each additional degree beyond the 121 hours required for a single degree, and at least 18 of the additional 30 hours must be Arts and Sciences or Arts and Sciencesapproved upper-division course work. If four or more years have elapsed since you earned the previous degree, you must complete 30 semester hours at Ohio State beyond what you earned for that degree. Students approved to pursue two degrees may overlap two 3-credit hour Themes courses, or one 4 or 5-credit hour Themes course, with a major. In the latter case, students may not “split” credit hours from a single course and overlap a portion of a second 3, 4, or 5 credit hour Themes course with major coursework. Note: a course may fulfill a requirement in either major and a Theme, but it cannot “triple-count” and be used in both majors and a Theme. You must pursue a major different from the major earned as part of your other degree(s). No more than 6 semester credit hours of any previous minor course work may be used on the major for an additional degree. You must also petition for approval to pursue an additional degree at least a semester before your graduating term. You should consult your advisor regarding the petition process. An approved major program form must accompany the petition. Note: different rules apply to students pursuing multiple professional degrees in the Arts, namely the BAE, BFA, BM, BME, and BSD. See materials specific to those programs for details. Requirements for a Minor A minor consists of a minimum of 12 semester hours at the 2000-level and above and a maximum of 18 semester hours. At least 6 hours on the minor must be at the upper-division level. Upper-division courses are defined as all Arts and Sciences courses at the 3000-level or above, Philosophy 2500, all courses taught by departments in mathematical and physical sciences (Astronomy, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science and Engineering, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics) at the 2000-level and above (except for Earth Sciences 2911 and any courses numbered 2194), and world language courses taught in the language at the 2000-level. 1000-level courses may not be included in a minor. No more than 3 hours of X193 course work may be included in a minor, and no more than 3 hours of courses graded “S/U” may be included in a minor. Up to 6 total credit hours of transfer credit and/or credit by examination may be counted toward a minor. A maximum of 6 semester hours on the minor may also count on the GE. Consult your advisor for information about combined degree programs with the College of Dentistry and the College of Optometry. No grade below a C- will be permitted in courses constituting a minor. In addition, you must receive a 2.0 cumulative GPA for all minor course work. Courses taken on a pass/non-pass basis may not count toward a minor. You are not permitted to take a major and minor in the same subject. However, if the minor consists of more than 12 semester hours, some overlap with the major may be permitted. Consult your advisor. You may pursue more than one minor. Each minor must contain a minimum of 12 unique (nonoverlapping) semester hours. Once a minor program form is on file in the college office, any changes must be approved by the departmental (minor) advisor. Students are strongly encouraged to declare the minor and 2 SUMMARY OF BS DEGREE REQUIREMENTS GE REQUIREMENTS GE Hours 34 – 42 Bookends Launch Seminar Reflection Seminar 1 1 Foundations Writing and Information Literacy Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning or Data Analysis Literary, Visual and Performing Arts Historical and Cultural Studies Natural Sciences Social and Behavioral Sciences Race, Ethnicity, and Gender Diversity 3 5–8 3 3 4–5 3 3 Thematic Pathways Citizenship for a Diverse and Just World Second theme (student choice) 4–6 4–6 World Language Proficiency 0 – 123 Major Hours 30 (minimum) College Survey 1100 1 Minimum semester hours required 121 GE BOOKENDS Launch Seminar The goal of the launch seminar is to help students develop an understanding of the purpose and structure of the GE; to help students begin to develop critical skills and habits to navigate the academic environment; and to help articulate students’ academic and program goals and find opportunities to express those goals within the GE from various disciplinary perspectives.

Studies, 3 hours The goal of courses in the category is to engage students in theoretical and empirical study within the natural sciences, to help students gain an appreciation of the modern principles, theories, methods, and modes of inquiry used generally across the natural sciences, and to help students discern the relationship between the theoretical and applied sciences while appreciating the implications of scientific discoveries and the potential impacts of science and technology. A laboratory (lab) component is required to complete the Natural Sciences foundation. The goal of courses in Historical Studies is to help students investigate and analyze, critically, historical ideas, events, persons, material culture, and artifacts to understand how they shape society and people. The goal of courses in Cultural Studies is to help students evaluate significant cultural phenomena and ideas to develop capacities for aesthetic and cultural response, judgment, interpretation and evaluation. Choose one course from the following list. Choose a three-credit hour course and combine it with the same department’s one-hour lab, or choose a four-credit or five-credit hour course from the following list.

Note that additional themes and courses continue to be developed. Citizenship for a Diverse and Just World, 4 or 6 hours The goal of courses in this theme is to help students analyze concepts of citizenship, justice and diversity at a more advanced and in-depth level than in the Foundations component. More specifically: • Successful students will integrate approaches to understanding citizenship for a just and diverse world by making connections to out-of-classroom experiences with academic knowledge or across disciplines and/or to work they have done in previous classes and that they anticipate doing in the future. • Successful students will explore and analyze a range of perspectives on local, national or global citizenship and apply the knowledge, skills and dispositions that constitute citizenship. • Successful students will examine notions of justice amid difference and analyze and critique how these interact with historically and socially constructed ideas of citizenship and membership within society, both within the United States and around the world. Race, Ethnicity and Gender Diversity, 3 hours Choose two 3-hour courses, or one 4-hour course, from the following list. Note that, if you choose two 3-hour courses, the two courses must come from different departments. The goal of courses in this category is to engage students in a systematic assessment of how historically and socially constructed categories of race, ethnicity and gender, and possibly others, shape perceptions, individual outcomes and broader societal, political, economic and cultural systems and to empower students to recognize and compare a range of lived experiences of race, gender and ethnicity. 3-hour courses: oAfrican American and African Studies 3083 (SP24 and later), 3084, 3110, 3440 (AU23 and later), 3450, 4610 (SP24 and later), 4921 (SU23 and later) oAnthropology 3306, 3419
