Revised June 2023 (Effective Summer 2023)

Notes:

WSUV requires: Must complete 5 of these 6 UCORE designations (by end of BS): ARTS, DIVR, HUM, SSCI, EQJS. Must complete one ROOT course. Courses listed under the Humanities ^(HUM)/Social Science ^(SS) for this degree transfer to WSU as one of these categories.

It is essential to work closely with your advisor due to course sequencing.

Program planning is based on information available at the time of preparation. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with their LCC advisor and for checking specific major requirements of baccalaureate institutions in the year prior to transferring. Consult the LCC catalog for LCC graduation requirements.

MATH 215 is offered winter quarter of even years.
MATH 220 is offered every spring quarter.
ENGR 205 and ENGR 206 are offered every other year.

Most four-year universities require one year of a single foreign language as a graduation requirement.

Legend:

A - Course usually offered all quarters.
F - Course usually offered Fall Quarter.
W - Course usually offered Winter Quarter.
Sp - Course usually offered Spring Quarter.
S - Course usually offered Summer Quarter.
