Written, Oral, Comm A, and Comm B requirements 2001

WRITTEN/ORAL COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENT (I.C.)

All CALS students must meet both the college's requirement for Written and Oral communication (5-6 credits)and the university requirement for Communications A and B. These requirements overlap significantly, but not perfectly.

To complete the CALS Communication Requirement, and the University Communications A and B Requirement, choose one course from each list: CALS-WRITTEN, CALS-ORAL, UW-COMM A, and UW-COMM B.

It is possible to satisfy all four requirements with just two courses because a course listed in two columns can meet both requirements. For example, English 203 appears in two columns; thus it satisfies both CALS-Written and UW-COMM B requirements.

A student may receive credit for only one Comm A course. Students who take two Comm A courses will not receive credit for the second course and cannot use it to meet any CALS or UW-Madison requirement.

Required: 5 - 6 credits for CALS Written plus CALS Oral

NOTES: ¹Course not available to students who test out of Comm-A on UW-Placement exam. ²A student may be exempt from the Comm-A requirement by the UW-Placement Exam. ³Special Combinations: The pair of courses LSC 100 plus 212, or the pair of courses EPD 155 plus 397 (recommended for engineering students) will satisfy all four requirements. Although each of these courses is predominantly written, taken as pairs they contain enough oral communication to meet both the written and oral requirements. ⁴Advanced Placement Program
