Non-LS&A Course Work

Students in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts must complete a program of study consisting of courses primarily from LS&A or equivalent transfer credit.

LS&A courses are listed in this Bulletin. Courses offered by other academic units (e.g., Stephen M. Ross School of Business, Education, Engineering) of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) and not listed in this Bulletin are defined as non-LS&A courses. Out-of-residence credit may transfer to the College as either LS&A or non-LS&A credit.

Non-LS&A course work earns credit toward a degree and honor points according to the following policies:

  1. Candidates for an A.B., B.S., or B.G.S. degree must complete a minimum 100 credits of LS&A courses, allowing 20 credits of non-LS&A course work in the minimum 120 required for the degree. Non-LSA credits in excess of 20 will be included in the calculation of a student's GPA, but will not be counted toward the 120 credits needed for a Bachelor's degree in LSA.

  2. Courses cross-listed between LS&A and another school or college of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) count toward the required number of LS&A credits.

  3. School of Kinesiology courses are recorded as "not for credit" for LS&A students except for the following courses for which LS&A students may receive non-LS&A degree credits:

    • Athletic Training (AT) 310
