WSU Cources
Earn credit for TWO General Education areas by taking ONE course.
WSU courses are new interdisciplinary, variable credit (3-5), team taught, and limited enrollment courses that satisfy requirements in two General Education areas (Core or Breadth). Must earn a passing grade. Students may take as many WSU Courses as they wish, but only the non-overlapping General Education attributes from subsequent WSU Courses will count toward General Education requirements.
WSU Course Counts toward these two General Education areas:
- WSU 1450 Intersections of Art and Communication General Education Areas Satisfied: Humanities (HU) and Creative Arts (CA)
- WSU 1560 Politics in Film Humanities (HU) and Social Science (SS)
- WSU 1560 Identity in the Digital Age Humanities (HU) and Social Science (SS)
- WSU 1560 Sustainability in Thought & Practice Humanities (HU) and Social Science (SS)
