Can a course fulfill more than one area of the Miami plan?
Foundation courses are listed below according to the area they satisfy (English composition; fine arts, humanities; etc.). Some Foundation courses will appear in two or more Foundation areas. For example, ARC 188 is classified as a course in the fine arts as well as one in the humanities; it appears, then, in Foundation IIA (fine arts) and Foundation IIB (humanities). Students who take such courses may use them to fulfill one Foundation area requirement only. (Source: http://www.miami.muohio.edu/documents_and_policies/bulletin06/miami_plan/)

How can I fulfill my thematic sequence?
The thematic sequence requirement is met by taking nine hours within a thematic sequence that is outside the department of your major and a minimum of three hours in a Senior Capstone. To enroll in a thematic sequence, contact the departement under which the thematic sequence is listed. Students who completea double major in two different academic departments or a minor in another academic department will automatically fullfill this requirement.
