Core-Gen08 Crosswalk

The below table represents the standard crosswalk between GenEd08 and the new Core Curriculum. It is recommended to use this crosswalk in the following ways:

  • To identify Inquiry Core courses that a student may use to satisfy outstanding GenEd08 requirements
  • To determine whether it would benefit a student to update their catalog rights to the new Inquiry Core

The equivalencies indicated below will be automatic for students but there may also be instances where a GenEd08 course could satisfy multiple Inquiry Core requirements or vice versa. As a general rule, our aim should be to maximize the benefit for students and so petitions may occasionally need to be submitted for a modified equivalency.
