Review of courses for University Core Curriculum designations is an ongoing process. New courses may be approved and added to the list of courses that satisfy core curriculum requirements; courses may also be removed from this list. A course may be used to satisfy core curriculum requirements only if the course carries a core curriculum designation at the time it is taken. The student should consult the core curriculum supplement in the schedule of classes booklet to see if a core curriculum designation is in effect during a particular semester.
