Replies to: A six-hour discipline depth study.
Somewhere I've seen (maybe within DegreeWorks) specific lists of the accepted sequences. They were things like "US History 101 and US History 102", etc. My kids are both in the Engineering College, and for them, their Spanish CLEP credits (101, 102, & 201 for one kid; 101, 102, 201, & 201 for the other kid) counted as their required depth studies. I got the impression somewhere that other Colleges may have more stringent depth study requirements, though.
(Engineering here too)
Everyone seems to satisfy it via language AP/clep, so nobody seems to know how it works otherwise.

From the above link:
"The Depth Study Requirement can be found in DegreeWorks. In order to complete this requirement students must complete six credit hours in HI/SB or six credits in HU/L/FA within the same discipline/subject. Students cannot fulfill requirement with three credits of HU/L/FA and three credits HI/SB. For example, Economics- EC 110 and EC 111- taken as two HI/SB electives, or Spanish- SP 101 and SP 102- taken as two HU/L/FA electives.
Review the Core Curriculum and search by attributes (HI/SB/HU/L/FA) on the University Registrar’s website."
Not terribly detailed, unfortunately. I'll keep looking for better info for you, and I'll post anything I find that is more helpful. What is provided is very vague, which works OK when you come in with CLEP credits satisfying the requirement . . . but clearly you need more precise info when you are choosing classes! If you contact the registrar or otherwise get detailed info, please come back and post here for future parents/students.
