General Education course changes
General Education approved courses are periodically reviewed and occasionally their General Education label is modified or revoked. Currently, a recertification of General Education Writing (W) courses is being conducted and consequently some W courses no longer satisfy the Writing requirement.
The following comprehensive list which is updated as needed shows all W courses and their current status. To view W courses that are on the class schedule, please visit the Web Schedule and search by General Education code.
