"W" Moratorium Made Permanent

At the end of the Spring 2008 semester the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) faculty voted to make a permanent change to the general education “W” requirement.CLAS students now need only two W courses to graduate.

For students following the general education requirements for Summer 2005 and later at least one “W” must be an approved writing course in the major. The other “W” can be at any level and in any subject area. For students following general education requirements for catalogs prior to summer 2005 the “W” in the major is not required, though it is highly recommended.
