history, literature, arts, and/or socioeconomic and political systems of a specific nation or region of the student’s choice.
Alternative courses are available in each area to allow for schedule conflicts and student interests. The student should
choose alternative courses in consultation with a SNAP (Students Needing Access Parity) administrator.

The student must possess credit for any prerequisite course(s) required. Please be aware that courses at the
