Pre-Approved Intercultural Courses

The courses listed below will automatically count towards your WICS major, but you may request approval to count any course with an international focus for the major. Approval is subject to departmental review and will require a course substitution in Degree Works. Make requests to the Department of Modern Languages.

All courses with the prefix ARAB, ASL, FREN, GERM, SPAN, and WICS count toward the major (except FREN 405), as do all courses with the prefix HUMN that are taught by MODL faculty.
