* These interdisciplinary courses in CLASSICS may each be counted toward any one of three distribution areas—IV (Historical Studies), V (Values), or VI (Literature and Fine Arts)—as determined by the student. The student's second distribution course in that selected area cannot be another interdisciplinary course. For example, if a student elects to count CLASSICS 210 in Area IV, the second Area IV distribution course must be selected from courses that count only toward Area IV.
