Table of Pathways Course Transfer Recommendations

Table of Transfer Courses Previously Recommended for Pathways Credit

The table below lists the courses that the Office of General Education has previously approved to meet Pathways or CLE requirements. If you are an advisor or college academic dean or staff, you can choose to make these substitutions without contacting the Office of General Education. If you are a student, you can speak to your advisor about how these courses might satisfy your Pathways requirements.

If you are looking for a course that is not on this list, please complete the Pathways/CLE Course Review Request form to request that we review it. Please note: we cannot review AP/IB courses since those courses are reviewed by the Registrar's Office. View the Registrar's Office equivalencies.

Please email Jenni Gallagher with any questions.
