- RHET 362W Telling News: Framing Reality (4)
Notes:
Two 3 or 4-credit classes at Chemeketa equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus COMM11Z + COMM112 = Willamette’s “Communicating Effectively in Public” requirement for the CCM major. Any combination of COMM 212 + COMM 115, 237, or 100z will equal an open elective for the Willamette CCM major.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement; this will require the substitution of other Arts & Letters courses to satisfy the AAOT requirement.
Students who do not wish to continue language study into the second year may substitute two “World Engagement” classes taken at Willamette for the 201, 202, 203 language sequence, or three Chemeketa classes from the following list. Please note that “double-dipping” is not allowed: the same class may not be used to satisfy both the World Engagement requirement and either the Social Sciences or the Arts & Letters requirement:
ATH 103, ATH 212, ATH 214, ATH 231, CLA 201, CLA 202, CLA 203, COMM 115, COMM 237, ENG 107, ENG 108, ENG 109, ENG 201, ENG 202, ENG 205, ENG 206, ENG 220, ENG 245, ENG 250, ENG 253, ENG 254, GEG 106 HST 201, HST 202, HST 203, HST 237, HST 258, HST 269, PHL 206, REL 160, REL 201, REL 202, REL 203, SOC 232, WS 101, WS 102

For students that have taken CS courses from an institution that has aligned outcomes with the Oregon Council of Computer Chairs (OCCC) - Common Course Outcomes (CS 161, CS 162, and CS 260), the following should occur:
- Students that have transfer credit for CS 161, should be placed in Willamette’s CS 151.
- Students that have transfer credit for CS 161 and CS 162, should be placed in Willamette’s CS 152.
- Students that have transfer credit for CS 161, CS 162, and CS 260, will require instructor’s consent about having to take Willamette’s CS 152.
For students that have taken CS courses from other institutions that closely align to the OCCC common course outcomes, the students will take a placement exam for us to best determine the appropriate course for them.

Any combination of two courses chosen from ENG 201, 202, 204, 205, or 253 will equal the “literature outside the modern Anglophone tradition” elective for the Willamette English major.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement; this will require the substitution of other Arts & Letters courses to satisfy the AAOT requirement.

Notes:
Two 3 or 4-credit classes at Chemeketa equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus BI131 + BI132 = Willamette’s ENVS120.
DRF220 is not required, but may give students an advantage when taking Willamette’s ENVS250: Geographic Information Systems class.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement; this will require the substitution of other Arts & Letters courses to satisfy the AAOT requirement.
Students who do not wish to continue language study into the second year may substitute two “World Engagement” classes taken at Willamette for the 201, 202, 203 language sequence, or three Chemeketa classes from the following list. Please note that “double-dipping” is not allowed: the same class may not be used to satisfy both the World Engagement requirement and either the Social Sciences or the Arts & Letters requirement:

How To Start Your Chemeketa Bearcat Pathway
Because both schools are part of a transfer program agreement, we collaborate to ensure we meet your needs. Students at Chemeketa can easily transfer credits with a clear academic roadmap. With dual support, both schools will ensure you only need four semesters of credits at Willamette University.
Chemeketa transfer students have access to exclusive scholarship opportunities, making education affordable. And through campus engagement opportunities, transfer students can experience peer support and instant connections on campus.
Chemeketa transfer degree requirements
- In order to participate in the Bearcat Pathway program, all participants are expected to completed the following program requirements during their first year of the program:
- Meet with a transfer coordinator at Willamette University. In this first meeting, you will discuss your intended major, go over the program pathway for that major, and discuss any questions you have.
- Meet with an academic advisor at Chemeketa Community College. In order to ensure that you are able to register for the necessary classes for your program pathway, you must meet with an academic advisor (at minimum) twice per year.
- During your second year of participating in the Bearcat Pathway program, you will be finishing up your courses at Chemeketa Community college and getting ready to apply to Willamette as a transfer student. During this year, you must meet the following requirements:
- Meet with a transfer coordinator at Willamette University. In this second meeting, you will discuss your progress, any obstacles that you have encountered, and go over the transfer application process.
- Meet with an academic advisor at Chemeketa Community College. During your second year, you are expected to continue meeting with an academic advisor twice per year to ensure that you are able to register for the necessary courses in the two-year time frame, and are meeting your associate’s degree requirements.
- Apply to Willamette University using our Transfer Application. Prior to starting at Willamette in the fall term, you will need to apply as a transfer student by the April 15th deadline.
- Complete your Associate's Degree with a 3.0 GPA or higher.
