^* Course includes community-based learning component.

**Select a First Year Seminar in PHIL or T/RS or other major to fulfill requirements both for the First Year Seminar and a General Education Requirement. If a student chooses the CHS First Year Seminar (CHS 110X ), it will be counted as a free CHS elective. Thus, First Year Seminars in these disciplines may not add to the total credits for the major. Talk with your advisor if you have any questions.

*** It is strongly recommended that you take CHS 293 during your sophomore year but no later than fall of junior year (preferably concurrently or just after your statistics course), as it lays the foundation for advanced research papers that will be required in your last two years.
