General
Education for the Classes of 2009 and
2010:
* - may be used to satisfy the general education quantitative
requirement. Students may seek Economics credit instead of Mathematics. See the
Economics department chair. ** - may be combined with a 100-level physics or
astronomy laboratory course to make a natural science set or count alone as a
3rd natural science.
*** - may be used to satisfy the general education social science set or third
course requirement.
General
Education for the Classes of 2011 and beyond:
Advanced Placement credit may only count if the credit awarded is
accepted as a direct equivalent to a specific Bates course (see table above). Credit
awarded without an equivalency (unspecified) may not count. The writing
requirement may not be satisfied with Advanced Placement credit.
