General School Requirements for Undergraduate Programs
The schedules set forth the degree requirements for the four school undergraduate degrees. The degree requirements as stated are minimums. A student in consultation with his/her advisor may substitute courses which approach a given subject matter area in an equivalent or a more advanced or rigorous fashion.
University General Educational Requirements (GER's) are met in the school requirements listed for all degrees. Students are encouraged to consult the WSU catalog for a listing of all graduation requirements. In addition to the GER's listed as courses, students must satisfactorily complete the writing portfolio prior to graduation.
At least 40 of the total hours required for all curricula leading to the Bachelor degree must be in upper-division courses. Students should consult their advisors as early as possible for the appropriate sequencing of courses, as well as for the selection of electives that best suit their needs and interests.
Students planning to transfer to Washington State University from other institutions should take courses which will meet the 100- and 200-level requirements for the university general education requirements in the natural and social sciences, mathematics, statistics, economics, english, speech, and accounting. If transferring from a Washington community college, the transferrable associate of arts degree is highly recommended. Students planning to major in agricultural economics and management should complete algebra prior to transferring as juniors to Washington State University. Students planning to major in Economics, Agribusiness, and Environmental and Resource Economics and Management majors should also take calculus. If a student is considering graduate studies, he/she is encouraged to consult with an academic advisor as soon as possible. Such students should take additional economic theory and quantitative methods courses and selected application courses beyond those required for the degree. A minor in economics is often a desirable complement to majors such as business administration, engineering, education, agricultural economics, forestry, political science, and history. A minor in economics is offered to students who complete 18 hours of economics. Consult the department for an acceptable program of study.
Minors are offered in the other three program areas which require that a student complete 16 hours of course work in the school of which 12 hours must be in upper-division courses. For the agribusiness minor, students must complete a sequence of courses related to agribusiness. For the agricultural economics and management minor, students must complete one of the four areas of emphasis involving two courses. These courses are to be at the 300 and 400 levels in farm management, marketing, or agribusiness management. For the Environmental and Resource Economics and Management minor, students must complete a sequence of courses related to environmental and resource economics and management. Students wishing to declare a minor should consult with the department as early as possible to develop the required program.Life is good at WSU.
