All UCORE courses require students to demonstrate designator learning <\/b><\/em>outcomes that advance Written Communication<\/span>, a sub-goal of WSU’s Communication Learning Goal<\/a>, totaling a minimum of 34 credit hours in UCORE-designated courses that include instruction and\/or engagement with Written Communication (see the UCORE Curriculum Map (PDF)<\/a> and UCORE Curriculum webpages<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em>. <\/em><\/strong>At the first-year level, the first-year experience course [ROOT] and foundational requirements advance Written Communication. At the senior-level, the senior capstone experience course [CAPS] advances Written Communication. Students also complete ways of knowing requirements, which advance Written Communication, during the UCORE curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, UCORE courses require students to demonstrate designator learning outcomes that advance Non-written Communication<\/span> as appropriate to the designator (see the UCORE Curriculum Map (PDF)<\/a> and UCORE Curriculum webpages<\/a>).<\/strong><\/em> At the first year-level, students may complete a foundational Communication course [COMM] that advances Non-written Communication (note: students can take a second [WRTG] course instead of a [COMM] course). At the senior-level, Non-written Communication may be required in the senior capstone experience course [CAPS] as appropriate to the course and discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Announced in May 2022, revised designator learning outcomes<\/a> were approved by the UCORE Committee to help clarify what students, regardless of major, should be able to know and do upon the successful completion of a course in that designator. Additionally, effective Fall 2023, UCORE added the [EQJS] designator<\/a> to the \u201cWays of Knowing\u201d component of the curriculum, with the requirement that students complete courses in at least six of the seven Ways of Knowing designators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
