**Please note that you cannot double count or overlap ANY courses between RBS majors and RBS certificates. All certificate courses must be on top of any courses required for a given RBS major. DEGREE NAVIGATOR WILL NOT REMOVE THE "DOUBLE-COUNTING" COURSES, SO STUDENTS WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS ON THEIR OWN.***
