These courses must be sequenced, for example American Literature I and II. (If a history sequence has already
been completed, an Area II elective may be substituted for 1 Literature course. Area II elective courses must be
chosen from those listed on the AGSC approved lists http://stars.troy.edu/approved_courses.html. If a sequence has not
yet been completed, the Literature sequence is recommended to avoid taking an additional course.
Finite Mathematics is recommended. Another Area III approved math course such as PreCalculus Algebra or
PreCalculus with Algebra & Trigonometry is also accepted.
Only 1 History course is required. If a History sequence has already been completed (e.g. World History I and II), a
Literature sequence is not necessary, and an Area II elective may be substituted for the second Literature course. (See *
above) A total of 4 courses is still required in both Area II and in Area IV.
