4 Please refer to the Teacher Education Department Handbook for a list of recommended courses to fulfill the content electives.

* Some courses from the Christian Studies Core and Major Core can be used to fulfill requirements in the General Education Core. By doing that the number of credits needed for graduation would be toward the lower end of the range of total credits.
