    Notes:

    The courses from (1)-(6) above are prescribed. Therefore, please ensure that you refer to the approved prescribed courses.

    For example, if you read GESS1234, it is not a prescribed course on the list. You would still need to read HSS1000. HSS1000 will concurrently fulfil the CHS core and Singapore Studies pillar requirements. Hence, GESS1234 will be an excess course not counted towards your DDP requirement but the grade will still be factored into your GPA.

    Consequently, if you complete HSS1000, and you decide to withdraw from this DDP and pursue only a single degree in BBA , it will still be counted towards satisfying your GSS pillar requirement.

    Notes

    1. For students who are admitted at the point of admission, you will be expected to start reading courses to satisfy the CHS core requirements from your first year of study, please note that a number of CHS common core courses (marked by #) will be pre-allocated to you. We target to first pre-allocate to you (if CHS is your 2nd home Faculty), the courses that are concurrently recognised towards the general education pillars, to reduce the number of excess courses, should you decide to exit from this DDP. As a guide, you may refer to the pre-allocation sequence for CHS students in the single degree programmes.

      In addition, we wish to alert you, and also potential mid-stream DDP applicants, that there is a list of prescribed courses for the various categories of CHS common courses. Hence, you have to follow the list posted at this site carefully. Please refer to the above example on GESS1234 and HSS1000 about satisfying the GSS pillar requirement.
    2. Students in the NUSC, UTCP or RVRC will read the respective college programmes’ courses and count them towards part of the CHS common core requirements as laid out in Table E.

    Note:
    The CHS common courses listed above are prescribed. If there is no mapping approved with the courses offered by NUSC/UTCP/RVRC, you must read the courses under the CHS-approved prescribed courses. As a guide, prior approval has to be sought for variations, if any. 

    For direct-admits to the DDP,  if you read GEA1999, it is not a prescribed course on the list. You would still need to read GEA1000 or other courses on the CHS prescribed list. GEA1000 will concurrently fulfil the CHS core and the Data Literacy pillar requirements. Hence, GEA1999 will be an excess course not counted towards your DDP requirements but the grade will still be factored into your GPA. 

    ^Students in the NUSC/UTCP/RVRC are still required to read FSP4003 Field Study Project (8 Units), even though they have courses in their respective programmes to fulfil the CHS Interdisciplinary course I and II.

    Notes

    1. Mid-stream DDP applicants, please take note that that there is a list of prescribed courses for the various categories of CHS common courses. Hence, you have to follow the list posted at CHS Programme Overview carefully. FASS will provide academic counselling to affected students. As a guide, prior approval has to be sought for variations, if any.
    2. NUSC/UTCP/RVRC students are not required to read FAS1101 or ES2002. Students who exit from NUSC/UTCP/RVRC without having read Thinking with Writing (NTW), UTW1001/UTW2001 or RVX would need to read FAS1101/ES2002. These courses will be classified as a common course in lieu of FAS1101/ES2002. Refer to Table E under “Writing”

      Business (home faculty) students who withdraw from the DDP and return to the BAC(H) single degree programme are required to read ES2002 even if they have completed FAS1101.
    3. These include career starters workshops, internships and international exposure. CNM DDP students who have completed the CNM’s compulsory internship need not do the Internship part of the WEM Milestone.
