What are the general educational requirements at WSU?
To ensure that all WSU students receive a broad foundation for learning while in college, students must complete our general education program. Although specific requirements depend on majors, a broad outline of the general education program includes the following: All undergraduate students, regardless of major, must take certain basic skills classes or meet the requirements for those classes. All students must complete: (1) English Composition or College English 1; (2) College English 2; (3) Public Speaking; and (4) College Algebra. In addition, students must complete classes in several academic divisions, including fine arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences and mathematics and natural sciences. As a part of these requirements, students must successfully complete a combination of (1) introductory course and (2) further study or issues and perspectives courses in each of these divisions. You should contact an advisor in your area of study for more specific information.
