2. Students in the Speech Communication Minor or Option academic plans may double count no more than two courses from Speech Communication Approved Courses toward their Major plan and the Minor or Option plan.
3. Consultation with the department undergraduate advisor is highly recommended to ensure that students can fulfil all the academic plan requirements during the terms that they are on campus.
