- 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.
- 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.
- Free electives also can be used to complete a minor/track or a concentration.
- Each semester the Core Commission of the University identifies certain Humanities courses in History, Literature, Philosophy and Religion, which fulfill the Humanities Core requirement.
