BS candidates can select either the STEM or People & Society cognate for their major, while completing the remaining cognate plus the Arts & Humanities requirement. Those with a dual major in another school should consult their advisors about specific requirements. While no single course can satisfy multiple ECS requirements, non-core ECS courses may count toward cognates, minors, or secondary majors. Arts & Sciences students must complete four Writing Intensive (W) courses, with BS in ECS students required to take at least two (and up to four) W-designated ECS courses such as ECS 113, 301, 302, 402, and 403. A maximum of two W courses may be taken outside the department. Students whose primary degree is in another school should adhere to its writing requirements.
