- 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.

Thus any two courses chosen from ENG 104, 105, or 106 = Willamette’s ENGL 101W. 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:

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 PSY201 + PSY202 = Willamette’s PSYC 210. Any combination of two courses chosen from PSY 234, 237, or 239 will equal one “Category A” elective for the Willamette Psychology 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.
