Advanced Composition

Fall 2026

All courses on this list are approved for General Education credit on a campus-wide basis. However, individual Colleges or curricula may require specific courses or course categories. Students should consult their advisors about selecting the general education courses which best fit their programs of study.

Effective Summer/Fall 2018: Undergraduates newly admitted in Summer/Fall 2018 or later (note this includes both freshman as well as transfers matriculating in Summer/Fall 2018 and after) need to complete one course in Non-Western Cultures; one course in US Minority Cultures; and one course in Western/Comparative Cultures.

Undergraduate students who matriculated Spring 2018 or prior need to complete one course in Non-Western or US Minority Cultures and one course in Western/Comparative Cultures.
