Bachelor of Arts degree requirements in foreign language may be earned through examination or class work but must appear on the applicant's official college transcript.
See the section of the Texas A&M University Undergraduate Catalog pertaining to your major for the specific science requirement.
Interdisciplinary Studies majors in the College of Education can take ENGL 203 (ENGL 1302) rather than ENGL 210 (ENGL 2311).
MATH 1325 is not acceptable as the mathematics prerequisite for medical or dental school. Students planning to apply for these professional programs should complete MATH 2413.
All majors in the College of Science require Math 151/152 (Math 2413/2414) if transferring from another institution.

Humanities for the College of Architecture are limited to arts or architecture courses.

COMM 203 is not required for Agricultural Economics (AGEC) or Agribusiness (AGBU) majors.
MGMT 211 is not required for Agricultural Economics (AGEC) majors.
Agricultural Economics (AGEC) majors fulfill this requirement by completing AGEC 105.
