At least six of the ten distribution requirements must be completed for a student to enter the junior year. It is strongly recommended that the student complete all ten distribution requirements before entering the senior year.
The four-course Humanities sequence (150, 151W, 250, 251) satisfies the composition requirement and distribution requirements as follows: Literature; History; Religion and Philosophy (two courses). The two-course Humanities sequence (160-161W) satisfies the composition requirement and the distribution requirement in literature. A student who withdraws from either Humanities sequence after one semester receives one credit toward graduation, but neither distribution nor composition credit. A student who withdraws from the four-course sequence after the second semester receives credit only for HUM 151W, satisfying the composition requirement but no distribution requirement.
