  1. Entering students with experience in Taekwondo will be tested and placed in a class, which corresponds to their level of proficiency in Taekwondo. Students with no experience in Taekwondo would start in level 1 and normally would graduate after four years having completed levels 1 through 8. Students entering into Taekwondo who already hold a Black Belt could advance as high as level 16 by the completion of their studies.
  2. Similar to Taekwondo, as explained in the footnote above, students will be ranked and placed in appropriate level if they enter the program with advanced experience in Taiji.
  3. Free electives also can be used to complete a minor/track or a concentration.
  4. Each semester the Core Commission of the University identifies certain Humanities courses in History, Literature, Philosophy and Religion, which fulfill the Humanities Core requirement.
