Sequence of Core Courses

Because the core curriculum is designed as an integrated whole and builds upon the student’s general education, there is an order in which these courses need to be taken and there are certain prerequisites for them.

LBST 302B  and LBST 301  are prerequisites for LBST 303 , LBST 304 , LBST 305 , because they pick up the historical developments where LBST 302B  leaves off.

LBST 401  and the Senior Seminar come last. LBST 401  or PHIL 401  requires the completion of LBST 304  and either LBST 303  or LBST 305 . The Senior Seminar requires senior standing, the completion of 90 units of college work.
