Curriculum Outline
The following outline lists Wabash courses that are applicable to the distribution requirements named below. This outline is current as of the publication of the Academic Bulletin in August 2024, and is subject to change throughout the 2024-25 academic year.
Note that in some cases repeatable special topics course numbers apply to distribution requirements with some offerings, but not others. In such cases, the offerings that will apply are listed below in parentheses next to the course title. Consult the Registrar's Office with any questions about the applicability of any course offering to a requirement.
A student earning credit in an offering that applies to the Global Citizenship, Justice, and Diversity distribution requirement (listed in III.

In all other instances where an offering applies to multiple distribution areas, a student may apply a single credit to only one distribution requirement. Any offering that applies to a distribution requirement may also be applied as either one requirement of a major or one requirement of a minor.
