*If you need to start from a lower level, those classes are General Electives and do not count towards the major itself, but you will receive credit for them. If you place at a higher level, you will still need 31 hours total to complete the major.
+General Elective courses allow you to explore other disciplines, and you may use them for a minor or a second major.
