For either Associate degree of the 9 full-year courses, 4 courses may be chosen by the candidate in consultation with the dean (or his appointed representative), since 5 courses must be core courses. New students are encouraged to take 4 courses in the first year and 5 the second year. It is understood that science students will choose their free courses from mathematics and science offerings (must be at least one mathematics course), while arts students will choose from humanities, social sciences and arts. As such the requirement of the last course in the lists above is to make sure that the student takes at least one course of the 'opposite' camp. Note: 1/2 course is equal to a one-semester course and 1 course is a two-semester or full-year course. (All courses are semester courses, unless otherwise indicated). English language 1 (E.L.1) must be taken at the onset. In addition to the above course requirements, a grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or higher is required for the Associate degree.

8 courses are to be taken; 1 on 100 level, 4 on 200 level, 3 on 300 level. Any of them may be taken on a higher level instead. Students who passed the associate programme with a 2.5 gradepoint average or more, may skip one course on the 200 level or lower. Students who perform such that they need additional courses to fulfil their bachelor program may equally divide these extras over 200 and 300 level courses. Additional courses taken on a lower level can only be accepted as audit courses. Finally also 1 (year) course of a foreign or classical language must be taken, if not yet done so during the associate program. But if this requires an additional 100 level course, still the same rule as above applies. In addition to the above course requirements, a grade point average (GPA) of 2.50 or higher is required for the Bachelor degree. More about grade point calculations |
