Degrees Available at MillikinMillikin students may choose from one of five baccalaureate degrees bases on their major, the number of credits that they complete, and the type of courses that they select. Consult with your academic advisor about which degree is most appropriate for your career goal. Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Students who select a Natural Science major from the College of Arts and Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics) and students who select certain Social Science majors (Education, Exercise Science, Psychology Sociology) have the option of completing a B.S. degree. In addition, students who select a major from the Tabor School of Business (Accounting, Business Management, Finance, International Business, Management Information Systems and Marketing) earn a B.S. degree. Students who select a major in the College of Arts & Sciences and opt to complete a B.S. must complete the science distribution requirement. The science distribution requirement consists of ten additional credits beyond the science and quantitative reasoning components required in the University Studies curriculum . These credits must include at least one laboratory science course and come from no more than two departments outside the major department. Students may select credits from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematic/Computer Science and Physics. Credits earned in MA 100 and MA 106 count toward graduation but do not count in the science distribution requirement of the B.S. degree. Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Students who select a major in the Humanities from the College of Arts & Sciences (English, History, Modern Languages and Philosophy) earn a B.A. degree. In addition, students who select a Natural Science major from the College of Arts and Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics) and students who select certain Social Science majors (Communication, Human Services, Education, Exercise Science, Political Science and Sociology) have the option of completing a B.A. degree. Students who select a major in the College of Fine Arts (Art, Music and Theatre) may have the option of completing a B.A, depending on their concentration within these areas. Students who select a major in the College of Arts & Sciences or the College of Fine Arts and opt to complete a B.A. must complete the equivalent of three semesters in a modern language (Spanish, French or Italian). The three-semester course sequence includes courses numbered 103, 114 and 223.

Students who place at the 103 level must complete all three courses (103, 114 and 223) in the sequence. Students who place at the 114 level must complete 114 and 223.
