EIA Degree Checklist & Academic Map


HTS requirement for EIA degree

As is listed on the degree checklist, every student must complete one HTS course for the EIA degree. The goal of this course is a broad study of non-U.S. history. The courses that count towards this HTS requirement can be found in the course catalog.


Technology Requirement

Cluster Electives

A non-major cluster is a grouping of classes that are related or thematic, like pre-law, business, analytics, or pre-health. The purpose of the cluster is to give students a secondary area of specialization and to provide additional depth to the undergraduate program. A non-major cluster can combine classes from the same department or from different departments. The only requirement is that the classes be related. Classes used towards a minor, certificate, or second major can count towards a cluster. More information is available in the course catalog.
