Clarification on TO requirements:

The advanced science class is fufilled with a TO requirement: CORE 103. CORE 104 is the advanced Social Science class.

There are two “Theme courses,” one in humanities and social sciences, the other in Natural Science, both of which can double-count for some majors (my daughter was able to double-count both theme courses for her major) and both of which can be waived with an AP.

So, to completely fulfill GE requirements through TO, you need:

Six CORE classes:
CORE 102 Culture and Values
CORE 111 Writing Seminar 1 (attached to your CORE 102)
CORE 112 Writing Seminar 2
CORE 101 Symbols and Conceptual Systems
CORE 103 Process of Change in Science
CORE 104 Change and the Future

Two theme courses: Humanities and social sciences, and Natural Science. Lists are distributed each semester of courses that meet the requirements, and you will choose them in consultation with your TO advisor. They can double-count for major or minor requirements or electives, and both can be waived with APs. See page 10 of the Thematic Option handbook for APs that waive these.

Diversity. Lists each semester available on schedule of courses. Fall Diversity courses: [Schedule of Classes: Fall 2010: General Education Requirements: Diversity Courses](http://www.usc.edu/academics/classes/term_20103/general_education_requirements/diversity_courses.html) It can double-count for a major or minor requirement.

**Foreign language ***if required *by your school/major. Can be waived w/AP.
