Transfer Updates - Fall 2004
 
 Winthrop University
Rock Hill, SC

Winthrop’s new general education program will be phased in over the 2003-2004 and the 2004-2005 academic years. Students may move to the new requirements in the fall of 2004. Winthrop’s policy for Grandfathering transfer students into the 2003/2004 catalog is as follows:

Students who transfer into Winthrop University prior to Fall 2006 will be able to graduate from Winthrop under the degree requirements in the 2003-2004 catalog if they meet the following conditions:

  1. They began their post-secondary education prior to the Fall 2004 term;
     
  2. They transfer a minimum of 24 credit hours and enroll at Winthrop prior to the Fall 2006 term.

Winthrop’s new general education program is composed of 3 core areas: the critical skills, skills for a common experience and for thinking across disciples, and developing critical skills and applying them to disciplines.

In the new program, there are currently eight (8) General Education courses that have writing components. One major change in the general education requirements is that English 102 can only be used as a general education elective.

The GNED 102, Human Experience course, is required of all students regardless of their major fields of study or their career goals.

Critical Reading Thinking Writing (CRTW 201) No transfer equivalent at PTC
 This requirement will be met prior to completing 75 hours. Transfer students will be required to take CRTW 201.

Human Experience (GNED 102) No transfer equivalent at PTC
 This requirement will be met in the freshman year. Transfer students must take GNED 102

Historical Perspectives
 This requirement is designed to examine knowledge and ideas through a historical perspective.

Global Experience
 The courses included in the Global Experience will provide a view of the world outside the United States. Designated courses may involve appropriate cultural events and guest speakers as outlined in the program proposal. Students participating in a foreign exchange program are exempt from this requirement.
