Grading Policies

Completion of the major normally requires 14 courses (totaling at least 62 units), all of which must be taken for a letter grade (with the exception of AMSTUD 99: Senior Colloquium and the Honors Workshop sequence, which are only offered S/NC).

External Credit Policies

Units from courses taken at institutions that are not Stanford, which have been approved by the registrar, may count for major/minor requirements with the approval of the director, associate director, or program coordinator.

Additional Program Policies

  • A student may not count a single course for more than one requirement.

    • Not all courses are offered each year; students should consult Navigate Classes for scheduling information for the current academic year.

  • Units from courses taken from other departments/programs within Stanford may count for major/minor requirements with the approval of the director, associate director, or program coordinator.
