Long range schedules for COSAM courses are online at http://aub.ie/cosamlrs   

Courses in BOLD will be used to calculate GPA in major.

Options for courses labeled CORE are in the Auburn University Bulletin (www.auburn.edu/bulletin) under Core Curriculum.

1 CHEM 1030/1031 and 1040/1041 sequence can substitute for CHEM 1110/1111 and 1120/1121.  See advisor for details.

2 If a second LITERATURE sequence is chosen, this course must be a CORE SOCIAL SCIENCE.  If a second HISTORY sequence is chosen, this course must be a CORE HUMANITIES.
