,M College of Arts and Sciences Distribution requirements The objective of the distribution requirements is to give the student an elementary knowl- edge of the fields of contemporary thought and to orient the student to the world of man and nature. The requirements also provide opportuni- ties for students to take additional work in fields related to their major field of concen- tration. In addition, the preliminary require- ments give students experience with each of the college ' s three distribution areas before a major field of concentration must be chosen. Distribution requirements are administered by the dean of the College of Arts and Sci- ence in accordance with the group regulations given below. The student has a wide choice of offerings from which to select courses to ful- fill distribution requirements and will have an opportunity to discuss these with his or her faculty adviser prior to preregistration each semester. There are two types of distribution require- ments: preliminary and upperclass. Preliminary requirements. These should nor- mally be fulfilled by the end of the student ' s fourth semester of college work. However, when a student ' s academic program permits it, they should be completed by the end of the third semester. With the exception of courses in mathematics, science, and modern and classical languages, which may be used for either preliminary or upperclass requirements based on the student ' s progress in the disci- pline, preliminary courses are indicated by a (P) following the title. At least one course is chosen from each of two subcategories in each of the three distri- bution areas listed below: Area I Humanities a. Classical and Modern Foreign Languages b.
