* Methods of Inquiry consists of 3 contexts for BS students (Arts/Humanities combined; Natural World; and Social World). Example: A student pursuing a BS in Biology (one of the Natural World disciplines) would complete one course in EITHER the Arts or the Humanities Context area, as well as one course in the Social World Context, but NOT a course from the Natural World Context. Refer to Pg. 8 of the Undergraduate Student Guidebook for a list of majors and the context (arts, humanities, natural world, or social world) to which they are assigned.

** Permitted double-counting of Core/Major courses for the BS is 2 courses.
