WSU Course Designation Amendment Clarification
"Students may take as many
WSU courses as they wish, but only the non-overlapping GE attributes from
subsequent WSU courses will count toward GE requirements. For example, a student
who passes WSU 1560 (SS/HU) completes SS and HU attributes in her GE
requirements. If she then passes WSU 1680 (SS/PS), she will complete only the
non-overlapping PS attributes in her GE requirements."
