77	CAS Exploratory Requirement
78	A student's Biology coursework, already included in major, typically satsisfies the CAS Exploratory requirement. Students who have completed MACRAO or MTA should discuss this with their academic adviser, as exploratory requirements can be affected.
79	In addition to satisfying the university-wide general education requirements, all students with majors in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to complete at least three courses outside of their major rubric, for a minimum of 12 credits.
80	A student may select these courses from either of the following: A single rubric of their choosing (e.g., HST) within the College of Arts and Sciences. A predefined thematic set of courses identified on the College of Arts and Sciences website.
81	Additionally, earning a double major or degree, completion of a College of Arts and Sciences minor or concentration, or completion of honors college requirements (including HC 3900) satisfies the exploratory requirement.
