The West and the World Courses These courses have ENG 111 as a prerequisite (see course descriptions for any other prerequisite, which may include COR 100): Courses are identified as (West and World) at the end of the course descriptions. Courses that are marked with an asterisk (*) also fulfill the Pluralism and Diversity Requirement and are identified (P&D) at the end of the course descriptions. Programs leading to a degree (with the exception of the AA and AS degrees in Liberal Arts and Sciences) require a concentrated study of a particular subject. This requirement is called the core requirement for associate's degrees and the major requirement for bachelor’s degrees. The core and major requirements for each degree are listed under the degree. All students are required to achieve at least a 2.0 grade point average in their core or major requirements in order to earn an undergraduate degree at the College. Some programs require a higher GPA. Some cores and majors require courses that must be taken during the freshman and sophomore years to provide the background necessary for the required core or major courses. These courses are identified as pre-major and listed under the degree description. Courses used to fulfill pre-major requirements may also be used to fulfill general education requirements but may not be used to fulfill major requirements. Courses used to fulfill core or major requirements may also be used to fulfill the Pluralism and Diversity requirement but may not be used to fulfill other general education requirements.
