Each of the three broad sectors of human inquiry is sub-divided into two domains as follows:
- Arts and Humanities
a. Literary, Visual and Performing Arts
b. World Views and Ways of Knowing - Social Sciences and History
a. Behavioral, Social or Cultural Perspectives
b. Social Change in Historical Perspective - Natural Science and Quantitative Reasoning
a. Natural Science
b. Quantitative Reasoning
Students satisfy Option C by completing three courses in each broad sector, with at least one course from each domain; eight courses altogether.
Furthermore, in satisfying their Natural Science requirement students must take at least one laboratory course. When two Natural Science courses are taken, they may be in one or two disciplines (unless otherwise specified by major requirements).
Courses taken for major or minor requirements may be used to fulfill Option C requirements as appropriate. Also, courses taken to meet the Broad Sectors of Human Inquiry requirements, including First Year Seminar, regardless of option, may also fulfill Civic Responsibilities requirements, as indicated.
