How To Fulfill Hunter Focus Concentrated Study?

[bright crest]

for anyone who seen this in their DegreeWorks can u guide me step to step how to fulfill this requirement? I clicked “What-Ifs” and selected FS: Psychology but it showed me that psychology (15000) is already fulfilled so should I choose something else or is it fine? Also it brought up a new list of Pluralism and Diversity Requirement, so do I need to enroll in those classes to fulfill the focus study?

How To Fulfill Hunter Focus Concentrated Study?

[midnight berry]

Pluralism and Diversity is a gen ed course. So you have to complete them to graduate

You only get to see what you actually need once you declare

The what if section gives you a rundown of the courses that are needed if you declare a desired major

Ik I already completed it in the “Academic” section of DegreeWorks, but in the What-If section after choose a FS it just showed these extra pluralism and diversity which makes no sense

Also is it fine if I declare a FS but I already took the class in the FS previously? Like for community health FS it says I already took Soc 301 is that ok or do I need to choose another

[midnight berry]

If it says it's already completed then it's completed

Sometimes one course can fulfill multiple requirements

[midnight berry]

I guess then your major requires more

I don't really know cause I am in bio and cs

^?

[midnight berry]

What is FS?

[flat marsh]

yeah that’s fine

focus study

[midnight berry]

I should probably do a disclaimer that I dont know much just answering based on my experiences 😭

[flat marsh]

if u entered hunter in fall 2024 or later focus on the new list

if not do the old list

[midnight berry]

is that the concentration thing?

[flat marsh]

basically if you’ve done some FL or have it waived

u do random courses in one department

[midnight berry]

oooh so doing courses in a department that is not aligned on the coursework is FS?

[flat marsh]

explain again

[midnight berry]

huh? I dont know what FS is, I thought thats what you meant

[bright crest]

R u sure? Bc in DegreeWorks it says “REMINDER: FS cannot share courses with Major 1”

And SOC 30100 is under human biology body mind and health

I just wanted to confirm

[bright crest]

I didn’t enter Hunter in 2024 or later

[bright crest]

Basically I took the first level of my language class in a different school and it’s not counted under Hunter focus

So I need a 3 cr Hunter focus concentrated study, but I’m confused on what I can or should not pick

I don’t want a second major or a minor btw

I just want this requirement fulfilled but idek how to do tht

[flat marsh]

u can do a humanities

[bright crest]

Not a FS option

[flat marsh]

oh really?

[bright crest]

yeah but I wanted to do community health since it kinda aligns with my interest but the issue is that it says I alr completed a class in that section (which is from my major), so I’m not sure if it’s ok to choose it or not because it says “FS cannot share courses with Major 1”

[flat marsh]

i mean like a humanities course

do like classical mythology or smth

[bright crest]

does tht mean I can pick anything? Even something not related to my interest ?

[flat marsh]

yes

just can’t be ur major courses

[bright crest]

oh right

And do I ignore the pluralism and diversity requirement that popped up in the what if section and just focus on the focus study requirement class?

[bright crest]

Do you mean that I can’t pick a FS that is already fulfilled by a class I took before that fulfilled one of my major requirements?

[flat marsh]

yes

[flat marsh]

mhm

[bright crest]

So like if my major is Human Biology, am I not allowed to pick FS in Community Health since it was already fulfilled by SOC 301 which was a class requirement for my major? Or can I pick it and is that not what u mean

[spice zephyr]

FS should be in a field not related to your major, but if you wanted you can declare a minor and have it fulfilled immediately
