Humanities and Social Sciences:
Students will be required to complete 17-18 hours of humanities and social science course work,
including the following requirements:
A. One course from each of two different social science departments.
B. One course from each of three different humanities or fine arts departments.
C. A second higher-level course in one of the five course areas listed above.
Note: Courses such as band, chorus, orchestra, drawing, painting and sculpture are not
acceptable.
Courses that may be taken at Emporia State University to fulfill these requirements include:
Anthropology Any course except AN200, 355, 356 (SS)
Art Only AR225, 235 accepted (HU)
Economics* Any course
English Any course except EN100, 101, 108, 109, 110, 260, 265 (HU)
Foreign Language Only credits earned in second year courses may apply (HU)
History Any course (HU)
Music Only MU226, 228 accepted (HU)

Sociology Any course except SO125, 350, 351, 352, 353, 403, 418, 480 (SS)
Theatre Arts Only TA125 (HU)
*Industrial Engineering majors must complete Economics I and II (which also satisfies the
requirement of a second higher level humanities or social science course).
The Wichita State University has an excellent cooperative education program associated with
industries in Wichita, the state of Kansas, and in other states as well. One hour of engineering
credit can be earned for each semester that a student is enrolled in the program. For more
information about the Cooperative Education Program, contact the WSU School of Engineering.
