All of these courses are only taught in Cullowhee since they are undergraduate courses. Besides our daytime courses, most of the courses are offered at night within a four-semester rotation. We occasionally accept previously taken courses in these areas IF they were taken within the last six years and meet the same expectations as Western courses.
