Upper Division Alternatives

Some SWT students enroll at locations where certain General Studies courses are not offered or they have extensive transfer work and may find it unwise to enroll for lower-division work. Others may be returning after lengthy absences from formal educational work. Students in these situations, only with prior approval of their academic advisers and the College of General Studies, may take upper division course alternatives.
