http://www.purdue.edu/provost/initiatives/curriculum/course.html
NOTE: Check with your advisor because some course that are okay for UCORE can’t be used for Science – so have a course or two selected to discuss with your advisor!!

International Students should see advisor about this requirement!
If you took a Foreign Language Placement Test during STAR and tested into the 201 level or
above…..are your credits posted on MyPurdue?
MULTIDISCIPLINARY
Multidisciplinary requirement may be fulfilled by: Minors Dual Majors Certain Courses
Minor or Dual Major must include 9 hours not required for primary major
GREAT ISSUES Pre-requisite is COM 217 and/or ENGL 10600/10800
AND Junior level standing or above Great Issues combine science, technology, economics,
social impact, and look at a current issue facing the world today such as: Global Warning Nuclear Material Fossil Fuels Biotechnology
Not a lab science course. It is a discussion course usually including a research paper.
Courses must be approved for this requirement!
DO YOU NEED TO RETAKE A COURSE? The course and grade is always on your
transcript When you retake the course, the new grade
replaces the old grade IN THE GPA. Replaces even if the newer grade is worse.
New credit is all that counts Example:
FALL 2013 – ENGL 106 is a D with 4.0 credits SPRING 2014 – ENGL 106 is a B with 4.0 credits
The B grade is calculated into your GPA and you get 4.0 credits for English.
Course MUST be taken at a PURDUE campus to replace a grade AND be the exact same course number!!
