2012-2013 Academic Year
The courses listed below meet Qualified Admissions curriculum requirements during the 2012-2013 academic year or later. The course list has been updated from academic year 2011-2012, and the updates generally expand rather than limit the course list. However, in some instances courses, primarily electives, were dropped from the list. Any course dropped from the list will fulfill a student's Qualified Admission curriculum requirements if the course was on the 2011-2012 list and taken by the student in the academic year 2012-2013.
