General Information

The table below lists WIM courses by major over the past three 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 and the program descriptions in the Bulletin for up-to-date information on which course(s) fulfill the WIM Requirement for their particular major(s). Click on a major for the relevant page in the Bulletin.

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.
