Backwater State University has announced changes to its graduation requirements.

Starting in the fall of 2023 Backwater State University is requiring students to take one math, computer science, and foreign language course.

A recent study showed that only 15 percent if students took a foreign language course and only 20 percent took a math course while at Backwater State University.

President David French says “We feel that these new course requirements will allow us to turn out better–educated persons.”
