Frequently Asked Questions about the Core Curriculum
36. Do I have to take a computer science
or foreign language course?
All students are required to complete two years of the same foreign language
and at least one year of a computer science course in high school.
Any student who has not completed one or both of these requirements must
fulfill them prior to graduating from A&M. In order to fulfill
the foreign language requirement, a student must complete two courses in
the same foreign language. In order to fulfill the computer science
requirement, students may choose from the following courses: AGEC 221; AGEN
109; AGLS 201; ANSC 401; BANA 207; CPSC 110, 203, 206, 207; EDTC 445; ENGR
109; HLTH 240, 430; KINE 240, 430; PHYS 401; RENR 201. Any student who is
uncertain about whether they have met this requirement should contact the
Undergraduate Advising Office in 107 Butler Hall.
37. What about the core curriculum?
Assuming the foreign language and computer science requirements were fulfilled
prior to entering TAMU, a Biology student only has to be concerned with
the humanities, social science and speech/writing skills requirements.
