1See appropriate alternatives or substitutions in "General Education Requirements".
2 TECH 1013 Principles of Collegiate Success is a substitution for TECH 1001 Orientation to the University; Electives would reduce from 3 hours to 1 hour.
3The elective courses placed in the degree should be used by students to take either COMS courses or courses in another area that the student would like to get certified (i.e. mathematics, business - both of which offer a minor). This will make graduates more marketable. 
4COMS 3703 is a substitution for COMS 2713 .
