A sequence of science classes doesn’t satisfy the “depth study” requirement. I assume by the way you refer to it that you’re in the college of engineering. From the catalog, this is the engineering requirement: “A six-hour discipline depth study is required and may be taken in either HU, L, and FA or HI and SB.” If you’re in one of the other colleges, the sequence needs to be in either Literature or History.
