GUIDE FOR COMPLETING THE QUARTER SYSTEM CORE
COURSE EQUIVALENCY CHART
Core Curriculum Courses
Listed by Quarter System Areas
If you plan on graduating under a quarter system catalogue, then you need to use this chart.

First, read the quarter column of this chart to check off everything that you have taken in the quarter system Core.

Next, you will clearly see what courses in the left column you have yet to take in order to complete the quarter system Core with semester courses.

As you use this chart, you must select from ONLY ONE COLUMN for any given row, and within the row, you must select only the number of courses specified.

Note well: Each academic discipline has its own recommendations for electives within the Core. You would be wise to heed any of that advice.
