Course Rotation

Students should consult this course rotation as a tool for long-term academic planning. This course rotation is subject to change without prior notice.

Courses marked with an asterisk (*) indicate cross-listed courses.

Courses marked with a “W” indicate the course fulfills the Advanced Writing Requirement. Students are required to satisfactorily complete one W-coded, writing-intensive course taught in any Concentration or in the Writing Program. Advanced Writing Skills courses in the concentrations may satisfy other degree requirements (e.g., one of the five courses taken in the upper division in their home concentration). Dual concentrators are only required to complete one Advanced Writing Skills course. Additional W-designated INTS courses are to be added to the course rotation. Students should expect to see two “W” courses per semester.
