The foreign language requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Science
can be satisfied by passing a foreign language in one of the following
ways. (1) Students entering with two years or more of study of a foreign
language in high school can fulfill the requirement by completing 222 in
the same language (i.e., the language used to satisfy the entrance requirement).
French and Spanish students who begin with 115 may also fulfill the requirement
by completing 122. (2) Students entering with a foreign-language deficiency
can fulfill the requirement by completing 222 in the language used to remove
the deficiency. (3) Students who switch from the language used to satisfy
an entrance requirement, or to remove a deficiency to another language,
can fulfill the requirement by completing 122 in that second language.
Major Requirements for B.A. and B.S.
Each student in a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree program
must complete a major program of study consisting of not less than 18 semester
hours of upper-division courses (up to six hours of these courses may be
replaced by lower-division work in certain departments). A minimum grade
of C (2.00) must be made in every course offered for the major, exclusive
of lower-division prerequisites. Required and elective courses taken for
pass/fail (P/F) where a P is recorded will count as satisfying the minimum-grade
requirement. Transfer students must earn at least six hours in the major
while in residence at The University of Tennessee at Martin. Requirements
for the major are specified by the individual departments. Certain majors
may also require a student to complete a minor program of study. (See individual
departmental listings.)
For information on preparation for legal study or pre-theological study,
