Additional Requirements
To prepare students for the demands of technology
and globalization, Wake Forest guides
undergraduate course selections with three
further requirements:
Cultural Diversity Requirement. All students
must complete at least one course that educates
them regarding cultural diversity. This
course may be taken at the basic, divisional, or
R E Q U I R E M E N T S F O R D E G R E E S 64
major/minor level or as an elective. Courses
qualified to meet this requirement are designated
(CD) after their descriptions in this
bulletin.
Quantitative Reasoning Requirement. All
students must complete at least one course
that requires quantitative reasoning, either as
a qualifying course in Division V, as an elective,
or as a major or minor course requirement.
All courses meeting the requirement
are designated (QR) after their descriptions in
this bulletin.
Requirement in Health and
Exercise Science
All students must complete HES 100 and 101.
This requirement must be met before enrollment
in additional health and exercise science
elective courses, and in any case before the
end of the second year.
Proficiency in the Use of English
Proficiency in the use of the English language
is recognized by the faculty as a requirement
in all departments. A composition condition,
indicated by cc with the grade for any course,
may be assigned in any department to a student
whose writing is unsatisfactory, regardless
of previous hours in composition.
A student who has been assigned a cc
receives a grade of “Not Reported” (NR) for
the course. The student has one semester (understood
to be the next semester for which he
or she is officially enrolled) in which to work
in the Writing Center, revising the coursework
to the instructor’s satisfaction. Should the
student fail to work in the Writing Center,
or fail to revise the work to the instructor’s
satisfaction during the semester of his or her
next enrollment, the grade becomes an F unless
some action is taken by the instructor. (If
extenuating circumstances make it impossible
for the student to make significant progress
in a semester, the student may appeal to the
dean’s office for an additional semester of
