2. Minimum of 30 credits must be taken at Centenary University.
3. All graduates must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above.
4. All graduates must have a minimum of 2.0 GPA in their major(s).
5. Courses that are listed as special topic, typically ending with a 99, are repeatable. These courses are counted multiple times and do not replace grades of the previous special topic course.
6. Credits can be shared between the core and the major, or between the core and minor. But credits cannot be shared within the core: a particular course can count only once within the core.
