These shared courses are recommended below to fulfill both areas, although the course credits are only counted once towards the 120 credits required for graduation.

MAT 125 - Applied Business Mathematics
MAT 150 — Calculus I

Writing Requirements (“W-Courses”)
Three W-courses are required. These may not be taken until after a student has passed ENG 112 — Writing Arguments. W-courses may count toward LEP, major, or cognate requirements, as well as free electives. Course sections that meet this requirement are designated by section numbers ending in “W”.
Transfer students who enter with 60 to 89 credits are required to pass two W-courses, while transfer students who enter with 90 credits or more must pass one W-course.
