Notes on the Core:

Courses taken as part of the Core will not double count in concentration areas.

* When fulfilling the Economics and Geography Core requirements, students need to take either GECON 200 or GANTH 195 to complete General Education requirements in the Cluster 4, Global Experience area.  Students may take both GECON 200 and GANTH 195.

** Students are strongly encouraged to take Track II, though Track I, or the proper mix of Track I and II courses are acceptable.  Students should see their IdLS advisors if they have taken Track I courses before becoming an IdLS major, or if Track II courses are unavailable.  Science course work should cover earth, physical, and life sciences.
