Upper-level courses taken while enrolled in a CCU approved study abroad program may also count toward the cognate requirement. Cognate courses should be chosen in consultation with the student’s academic adviser. Alternatively, history majors may choose a minor to replace the cognate requirement. Requirements for the minor are set by the minor department. The cognate requirement is subsumed by the minor.
