knowledge- and skill-designated courses
 

Some courses across the curriculum are designated as Core Knowledge and Skill courses. These courses may fulfill Breadth of Knowledge, major, minor, or elective requirements as well. Courses will be designated in Banner as they are approved by the Committee for the Core Curriculum. Consult "Requirements and Equivalents" if you are unsure about whether you must fulfill these requirements. 

Note:  Due to policies set by the Faculty Senate, many Attribute and Field listings apply retroactively to classes taken during and after Fall 2008, but some do not. Please consult GriffAudit to see how courses you have already taken count towards the Core. Please use this list to plan your courses for future semesters.  If you have questions about which classes to take, please consult your faculty advisor.
