All WRC Majors must take at least 4 WRC courses at the 3000-level or above (WRC 4444 plus 3 additional courses)
There are no required allied courses. WRC majors may take up to two courses outside the WRC program as WRC electives, with the permission of the program director.
** Not required, but strongly recommended. This needs to be worked out during the Winter Term of the Sophomore year.
If a student who plans to major in WRC intends on traveling abroad, we recommend that such plans be made well in advance, and for Summer, May, or Winter Term of the Junior year.
Courses listed in Winter Term for the Sophomore and Junior year can be taken at either time, or in Winter Senior year if necessary.
Generally, WRC 3064 and WRC 3044 will be offered in even-numbered Winter Terms. WRC 3024, WRC 3034, and WRC 3054 will be offered in odd-numbered Winter Terms.
It is recommended that WRC majors take WRC 3354 before they take WRC 4444.
