   Both are correct in terms of *degree*.  During the first two years,
   the rule doesn't apply, so we're talking about the second two years.
   During those latter years, the only courses counted by the NCAA are
   those that count toward the program of study.  For example, let's say
   I declare Computer Science as my major.  This program of study has a
   requirement for a college of business course.  A business course
   (that meets the CS major requirements) counts as a course in the
   "program of study".
 
I'd better stop talking, I'm running out of prepared "gems" :-)
