COSC Individualized Studies

[dfrecore]

You are generally seeing it correctly but your gen ed numbers are a bit off. I will break down with how they show it once you are registered since I think that will make it more clear. I know you understand most of what I am going to write, but I want to be thorough for others who see this while considering COSC. Here are the requirements:

• Cornerstone Seminar - From what you have mentioned, your son is registered for this class to start this semester.  
  
  
• General Education Req - There is actually a max of 37 credit hours required for General Education. And that is only the case if you take a separate class for each of the requirements. For example, my comparative government class filled the spot for both Social/Bahvorial Science and Global understanding, so I actually only had 34 credits in General Education. If you are still working on these I do recommend Straighterline Business ethics as it fulfills the ethics requirement and comes in as upper level.
  
  
• Indiv/Liberal Studi CPS39 - This is the 36 credit hours that have to be in the field of the concentration. 18 hours have to be at least upper level. From our discussion, it sounds like you have these classes picked out and covered.
  
  
• Electives - 120 minus the sum of the above three requirements is the amount you need here. For example, I have 3 cornerstone credits, 34 gen ed credits, and 36 Concentration credits. 3+34+36=73. 120-73= 47. So I need 47 elective credits. Others results may vary depending on how many gen ed credits they have.
   
  
• Liberal Arts Req - If you are going for a BA, you will need to make sure that 90 of your son's credits are considered Liberal Arts classes. If you are going for a BS, you will only need 60 credits. I am not sure, but I don't think hospitality would be considered as a Liberal Art so you will probably need some in your electives. Gen eds count toward this.  
  
  
• Upper Div Req Bachelor - 30 credits need to be upper level. 18 of the 30 comes from your concentration. So just 12 more. You know better than most where to find these classes, but if you decide to Straighterline Business Ethics for the Gen Ed ethics requirement, throw in Organizational Behavior since it comes into COSC as upper level as well. 
  
• 120 Minimum Credits Req - You need at least 120 credits to graduate. If everything above is covered, then this one should be covered as well. 
  

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

This is a GREAT breakdown of how COSC works, thank you for spelling that out!
