WIM Courses

General Information

The table below lists WIM courses by major over the past four years. You can use this table for WIM courses in this academic year, and to check whether previous years' courses satisfy the WIM requirement.

Students should consult their departments for up-to-date information on which course(s) fulfill the WIM Requirement for their particular major(s). Due to department staffing and scheduling changes, not all classes listed in a given year were/will be offered.

The WIM course table does not necessarily contain all the information students need in order to complete the requirement. Prerequisites may exist for some courses.
