Total Credits: 60
   
** These courses fulfill Queens College Humanities I, Tier 1 Liberal Arts Requirements, but will not count toward the major.  
*** Fulfills Urban Study requirement  
1 If LIB 110 is not taken as part of the English cluster requirement, students may substitute any Liberal Arts elective credit (e.g., he/she may take LRC103 or may use a liberal arts credit that was transferred in--or taken--that is "not counted" towards the degree).  Note: The LIB110 box on DegreeWorks will never be checked off, but the Registrar's Office will automatically substitute the one liberal arts credit when evaluating the student's transcript for graduation.  Students do not need a waiver.
