Course Substitutions for GCON courses
Students who began their studies under a catalog prior to the 2025-2026 catalog AND choose to declare 2025-2026 catalog or later may use the following list of courses to fulfill GCON requirements assuming the substitutions match the number of credits. Only one substitution per GCON course is allowed. Although some courses below marked with an asterisk are found in multiple lists and satisfied two distributional requirements in catalogs prior to 2025-2026, they cannot be used to satisfy two GCON requirements.
