Past Approved Courses

To use a course to meet your Essential Studies requirements, it must be on the approved list in the semester that you take it.

This is important because the curriculum may change. A course that was the approved list in the past may have been modified to meet a different ES requirement or it may have been dropped from ES because of other changes.
