Needed in Trans Gen Ed
Cr.
* Students will receive elective credit for ENL101, which is a prerequisite for ENL102 and its equivalents.
** Courses may not be used to fulfill both major discipline and general education requirements and students must take courses from six or more
different academic disciplines to satisfy all categories other than FYS and Written Communications.
***These courses may be used to satisfy requirements elsewhere in a student’s program of study and do not need to add additional credits,
similar to the “Q, V, W” requirement in the old core.
