This is the official Knowledge Integration academic plan for the 2023-2024 academic year. It lists all of the KI degree requirements and is a great place to go if you are unsure of what the requirements are. While it does list many possible courses that can count towards breadth requirements, these lists are not exhaustive. If you think that a course could count towards a breadth requirement and you don’t see it on the list, contact the undergraduate advisor.
