Humanities and Social Science (H&SS) Requirements

Depending upon when you entered the College of Engineering and Applied Science, your H&SS requirements will be slightly different.  If you entered PRIOR to the Fall of 2006, go here.

If you entered either in the Fall of 2006 OR Spring of 2007, you can complete either (but not a combination of the two) the old requirements (HOMER, see link above for prior to Fall 2006) or the new requirements (below).  Please see the requirements here.  Also please see the note below*.

If you entered in the Fall of 2007 or later, then you can find a list of H&SS courses here or on the following pages from the Chemical and Biological Engineering Help Guide:

Q: I have taken some EHON and/or HUEN courses but I noticed that some of these courses are not on the list of approved H&SS courses.  Do these count for H&SS credits?

A: Yes, all EHON and HUEN courses count for H&SS credit.

*Note: Beginning in the Fall of 2007 the H&SS requirements changed FROM 12 lower level and 6 upper level (3 of these upper division had to be the WRTG 3030 course) credits TO 9 lower level and 9 upper level (3 of which have to be the WRTG 3030 class) credits.  If you began before Fall 2007 and you choose to use the OLD H&SS requirements (12 lower level, 6 upper level), then you must consult the old HOMER course listings (link here) for suitable courses; this old HOMER list will be used to evaluate the credibility of your H&SS courses.

If you feel that you have taken a course that should apply towards H&SS credits and this course is not on the list of approved credits, you are welcome to submit a petition (please contact Janet deGrazia - janet.degrazia@colorado.edu).
