| H&SS and Fine Arts Deletions | |||
|
The intent of the H&SS/CFA requirements is to provide breadth in background and exposure to non-technical areas.
For this reason, certain technical courses from H&SS are excluded. These courses are listed below, though this
list is not presumed to be exhaustive - new courses will undoubtedly be offered which are not currently listed.
The following H&SS courses are considered technical courses and may not be used to fulfill any H&SS requirement. Statistics All courses. Economics 73-260 Econometrics I 73-360 Econometrics II Philosophy 80-210 Introduction to Formal Logic 80-211 Arguments and Inquiry 80-310 Logic and Computability I 80-311 Computability and Incompleteness 80-312 Probability and Artificial Intelligence 80-410 Goedel and Undecidability Psychology 85-111 LISP-lab for 85-213 85-213 Information Processing Psychology & AI 85-219 Biological Foundations of Behavior Social and Decision Sciences 88-211 Introduction to Cobol Programming 88-250 Regression Methods in Social Sciences |

| H&SS and Fine Arts Additions | |||

Certain courses offered in academic units other than H&SS and CFA are considered non-technical and may be taken to
fulfill H&SS/Fine Arts requirements. The following courses offered by the EPP and Business Administration
departments and by the Heinz School may be used to satisfy the unrestricted H&SS/CFA requirement. Again, this list
is not presumed to be exhaustive; we'll try to update it as we learn about new courses.
